Today, I took my daughter out driving to practice for her road test. I told her to make a left into a parking lot. She missed the 30-foot wide entrance, but not the two-foot wide tree. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took my 15 year-old daughter driving. I yelled at her for not going safely around corners. On the way home, while demonstrating how to drive right, I went around a corner and hit a cement truck. FML
Today, I’m learning to drive and finally felt confident enough to park in a tight spot with my instructor watching. I nailed the angle perfectly, but when I tried to get out, I realized I'd parked so close to the line that I couldn’t open the door. I had to climb out of the passenger side while my instructor pretended not to laugh. 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 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 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 was in a parking lot, doing donuts in my dad's car to rizz some baddies. It was going great until some dumbass got in the way and got launched twenty feet. I panicked, lost control of the car, and smashed into a decorative tree. FML
Today, I was teaching my daughter how to drive. We were passing by a merge lane; I told her to slow down and let a green car merge in front of us. She said, "Fuck the green car" and sped up, colliding with it. Apparently she didn't know that would happen. 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 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Better luck next time

Reminds me of when I was learning to drive. First time I was backing out of the driveway, I hit the pedal pretty hard, causing me to nearly hit our mailbox....but, in my defense, the vehicle I was driving was different than the one I learned in, and it was far more sensitive than the older car. Didn't help that Mom kept screaming at me "STOP STOP STOP!"....Caused me to panic and do the opposite haha. Be patient with her OP, she'll learn....although from the sounds of it (with the words 'road test'), she should've already been prepared....good luck!

I know it sucks but it happens. I almost drove straight into a tree myself and my drivers ed teacher had to slam on the brakes. Then when I got my permit I was driving with my mother and turned into oncoming traffic at a four way intersection, so that was fun.

Brakes? Wha?

Sometimes the parent can be the source of so much anxiety, s/he essentially causes the accident. My mother was a horrible teacher and would tell me how to do exactly nothing until I did it wrong. Then she would yell and punch my arm. Not very logical when my hand is on the wheel.

my mum was terrible "which way should I turn" she'd reply up or down as opposed to left or right, and used to have massive panic attacks at every slight thing, still does to this day after having my license for 6-7 years or so

I refuse to drive with my mom. She often gives vague directions or doesn't pay attention. It makes it very difficult and even though I've told her she doesn't see it as an issue.

Sorry to hear that. I took my daughter, on a weekend, to a large subdivision that was being built. All the roads were paved with signs, no houses, trees, etc., and no traffic/workers. It was great. Only problem was my daughter was scared of backing up. She got over it thou, after 12 mins parked.:-)

Perfect proof that men shouldn't be allowed to drive. Ever.
