Today, I took my driving test. As I was about to turn at a green light, a car sped toward us from the other direction, running a red light. My instructor failed me because I stopped to avoid getting rammed. Apparently I should have kept going, because it was my right of way. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 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, as I was taking the driver's test to get my license, I backed into a car. It belonged to the instructor sitting in my passenger seat. 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 was rear-ended while at a stop sign, by my driving instructor. 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 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. Why? Before I even began driving, someone hit my car while it was still parked. FML
Today, after my driving instructor told me I should pass without any worries at all, I completely failed. I was hit by another car. While parked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have a feeling you exaggerated the whole thing about the other car almost hitting you, and you just simply freaked out for no reason and slammed the breaks in the middle of the intersection.

I have a feeling you exaggerated the whole thing about OP exaggerating, and you just simply freaked out for no reason and accused OP in the middle of the comments section.

I personally feel that them being cautious of the other driver was better than having to slam on just as they were going to be hit. Better to be safe than be sorry. Learning to drive is difficult with situations such as these. As someone has said before you're damned if you and you're damned if you don't!

You can't even go at a green light ? I'd fail you to

...Not when you see a car gun straight through the intersection you can't. Just because you have the right of way doesn't mean that's the only thing that matters. To be a good (and safe) driver, you have to pay close attention to your surroundings.

In some states you can be charged with failure to prevent a collision.................

I wonder if any of the other instructors would have agreed. Either way good for you OP for paying attention and I hope you get a more sensible instructor next time.

You are such a lier.. They can't fail you just for that one incident.. They give you so many points an if you lose so much then they fail you.. Nice excuse though

wrong. there are things that are grounds for an automatic fail. i took a test i got automatically failed for because somebody jaywalked in front of my car just as i was gunna start driving through the intersection. i stopped so i wouldnt run him over, bam. automatic fail. instructor told me the jaywalker was doing illegal and i had right of way so i should have kept going. cuz running over a pedestrian is apparently a-ok if you're doing a road test.
