Today, I rolled over a curb and bent one of the signs that read "Please Park Here After Your Road Test," at the DMV, because my foot slipped off the brake just before I put the car in park, which would've ended my Test. The first words out of the examiner's mouth were, "Well you would've passed." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
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 failed my driving test before even leaving the DMV parking lot. FML
Today, I took my driving test. Completing the test, we returned and parked at the testing facility. As my tester was complimenting me, I leaned down to wind my window up, catching my long hair in the window. Frantically thrashing, I put the car in drive and floored it into a concrete wall. 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 was nervous as hell for my driving test. The instructor told me to drive a straight line in reverse. I forgot to put the car in reverse from drive and drove straight into a parked vehicle. Which happened to be owned by the instructor. FML
Today, I went to the DMV to get my license. I almost ran over my evaluator as he was walking to get in the car. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm probably going to get killed for telling the internet this, but don't feel bad. I was so terrified of driving I failed my driving test 5 times. Two of the times I put the car in park and walked back to the DMV and had either my mom or my boyfriend drive my car back. Laugh if you must, I still hate driving and hardly ever do it.

did you damage your car or your moms? cuz if you bent a sign it definately left a mark on the car. a daily reminder that you almost made it. don't worry try again. you'll get it your second time around.

People make mistakes. Don't make such a big deal about it.

#36-Mistakes while driving can cost people's lives.. If you're not in complete control of the vehicle, you absolutely should not be driving.

oh, and you have never made an honest mistake while driiving? Not everybody is perfect. Some people go throughout the world thinking they're the best at everything and need to get over themselves.

@ #9 and #37 This person was obviously still learning. Not even you started driving with complete control of the vehicle, nobody can. If we went by your logic of 'you shouldn't drive if you don't have control' then nobody would be able to even learn. Just because they made a small mistake doesn't mean they can't drive, driving by nature is dangerous and EVERYONE makes mistakes.. to err is human. I say put it behind you, learn from it and try again! The most valuable lessons are the ones where you screwed up.

well its your lucky day. Lucky you didn't hit my car because then you would have failed your test and have my foot up your a$$ buy a bus pass and stfu, if you do get licensed remember THE LEFT LANE IS THE PASSING/FAST LANE IF YOU HAVE CARS RIDING YOUR TAIL IN THAT LANE MOVE TO THE RIGHT!!!!!!!

no... the left lane is ONLY a passing lane, on highways that is. in the city it is generally a turning lane and not a passing lane except for getting around stopped vehicles. Part of having a license is knowing the actual laws. Also yes I do speed a bit on empty highways, and yes it can be done safely blah blah blah... but given YOU don't know how to properly drove... STFU.

I agree with the B.S. calls. rational_man calm the **** down. And be rational, please. The left lane is for faster cars to pass slower cars. As long as the car in the left lane is consistently moving faster than the car immediately to its right, it has every right to be there that you do. On a side note, Texans don't have to pass anything other than a written driver's exam to get their licenses - so every last one of them sucks at driving. I'm not from Texas, but I live here. FML

are you kidding? we have to take a drivers test with an examiner just like everywhere else, the written test is only half of it.

next time smoke a joint before the test. it's relaxing and will make you more aware and focused. that's what i did and i passed on my first try

the signs at the DMV are made that way on purpose. when you hit them they bend easily so you don't dent the car, but they are sturdy enough to stop you from flying down the street. It was a safety precaution they took since they knew the amount of inexperienced drivers they would get day-to-day
