Today, I drove 45 minutes to take my full driver's test. At the end of the test, the instructor told me I'd done everything perfectly, but had failed before I left the parking lot. I didn't see the "one way" sign at the entrance. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I failed my driving test before even leaving the DMV parking lot. FML
Today, I took my driving test. I was nervous, but I thought I followed the rules of the road pretty well. My tester ended up failing me for "backing out too slowly". FML
Today, I passed my driver's test. My instructor took the learner signs off his car and let me drive back to my place. I guess he didn't bet on me crashing the car just a few blocks from the test center. FML
Today, I went to take my driver's test, and I did almost everything perfectly. The last thing was to back into a driveway. As I went to put my hand on the passenger seat to look over my shoulder, I got so nervous that I hit my instructor in the face. FML
Today, I took my driver's test. I did everything flawlessly, but my examiner kept all but pissing his pants throughout. He yelled, "ARE YOU TRYING TO GET US KILLED?!" when I drove past a traffic light just as it was about to turn red. The road was almost empty. He failed me on the spot. FML
Today, I was taking my driving test and everything was going perfectly. As I pulled back into the testing center, I smiled because I knew I'd passed. Then I got out of the car without pulling the handbrake. The examiner had to jump back in and hit the brakes before it rolled into an actual parked car. FML
Today, I failed my driving test. I rammed into the parallel parking poles, ran a stop sign, and stopped at a cross intersection. My instructor called me an idiot. FML
Today, I took my driving test. I had pulled out of my three point turn in a neighborhood and started driving again, thinking something wasn't quite right. The lady testing me looked over at me and said, "Sweetie, you're driving on the wrong side of the road." FML
Today, I failed my driving test. Zero minor errors, one major fault. The fault was me thinking the road was one-way, positioned my car on the right lane to turn right, only to find out I was in the lane of oncoming traffic. FML
Today, I had my first driving test. The instructor turned out to be the kind of twit who made me do the full 60-minute test, only to tell me afterwards that he was failing me for the only mistake I made less than 2 minutes after the test started. Time wasting tit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's one way to fail your driving test.

So then why did he bother with the test?

In TX speed limits and street signs are suggestions on private property. Move.

If the person has a drivers permit then they can drive to their own test as long as there is another licensed driver with them in the passenger seat. It's just like they're driving with a drivers permit on any other day.

I drove to my driver's test. my mom was sitting in the passenger seat, holding on for dear life and praying that I'd pass, so she could stop riding in the car when I drove.

OP, you deserve it. Plain and simple. I'm glad you still don't have a license. We don't need more people that don't pay attention to the signs on the road.

Oh, get over yourself. He was probably nervous about his road test, and even adults miss road signs sometimes. There are a lot of things to focus on when you're driving, especially if you're young. It's not rare to miss a street sign every once in a while. Besides, no one said he wasn't paying attention. He just missed it.

62, if you have troubles staying focused and alert on the road because "there are a lot of things to focus on" then you are not ready to drive yet. Yes, people make mistakes while driving and sometimes those mistakes come with great costs. You should not be driving if the road is too overwhelming for you. Driving is not your right. It's a privilege which you are supposed to learn by demonstrating knowing the road rules and your ability to drive safely.

#62- "Just missed it", it's times like that cause deaths. One person with their head up their rear end and "missing" a stop sign is what causes accidents and deaths. Driving is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT (like spandex). I don't care if the OP was nervous, he/she got what they deserved. There is no excuse for what they did, ESPECIALLY when it was a one way street. Not to mention that if the person went to the nearest DMV, then they should have known the area and the streets that are One Way!

Honestly, I'm sorry but that's just plain hilarious and ironic.

Is it really necessary to point out a 45 min drive here?
DoxIxHAVExTo 10
Well, yeah. The instructor could've told the OP that he/she had already failed instead of wasting 45 minutes of his/her time. Doing something for almost an hour only for someone to tell you "You know that thing you were waiting for and did all this work to get? Yeah, you're not getting it." in the end would've pissed me off too.

well you know the test and now have one thing to remember....

One thing i got told before my test: follow road signs and markings over the instruction of the examiner (ie if a street says no right turn and you are asked to turm right and you do, then you broke a road rule). At the end of it all, you cant blame anyone but yourself if you fail.
