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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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 took my driving test. It was all going well until out of habit from driving with my boyfriend, I reached over and held my instructor's hand. 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 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 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 driver's test, whereby I forgot everything, panicked, and closed my eyes while yelling, "Jesus take the wheel!" 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 hit a parked car. It happened to be my driving instructor's car. While he was instructing me, sitting in the passenger seat. I don't think I'll pass. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sure he couldn't hold it against you! After all, beating your passengers doesn't make you a bad driver...

Both hands on the wheel!

Lol I had my driving exam yesterday and trust me, it was very stressful. Just explain yourself to him and hope for the best. Hope you passed!

And with that, the driver turned to OP and said... "Well,what a hit this drive was, I'd say you pass." And all was good until OP had a drive with his mom...

Nerves can be a bitch. I babbled like a total maniac during my driving test. Hopefully your instructor didn't take it badly... if he/she did, take the test again, and hit them harder next time ;)

I don't understand why people find it necessary to put their hand on the back of the passenger seat to reverse ..

Obviously there's a bunch of dumbasses out there who don't know how to use mirrors properly

Tell me about it. The rear view mirror is there for that reason. I don't even know why we're taught to look behind us the "proper way". It just encourages bad behavior. Then again, I'm in Canada, so it's a bit different here I'd assume.

I agree we still have some terrible drivers in Canada, but as usual not as bad as the states

jim_bolicious, you appear to be commenting on every thread about using your mirrors. I think we get the point by now. I guess driving instructors teach how to reverse differently, as I've always kept both hands on the wheel and turned my head to see out the back and side windows. Out of interest, how long have you been driving?

I've been driving for about 12 years now, even when I was training they were trying to tell us the best way is to turn around, and look out the back, but my dad taught me to use my mirrors and I immediately saw how much easier it was, and ever since then i've been using my mirrors, The tester wasn't too strict on details as long as I was able to get the job done. People straining themselves to look out the back has always been a major pet peeve of mine because I've seen several scraped car doors due to people not paying attention to the front part of the vehicle Sorry about overposting, I was more annoyed at people thinking that there's a blind spot directly behind the vehicle, and it didn't seem like they were getting the point

I think he failed. In Maryland they fail you if you don't have both hands on the wheel while moving, that's how it was a few years ago when I took the test.

I'm taking my driving test on Friday.. But I'll make note of not hitting the instructor. Thanks for the heads up

If he does not pass you, hit him again in the face. Harder.

I'm surprised you were allowed I take your hand off the wheel and put it behind the seat. When I took my test, we had to keep both hands on the wheel, even while backing up. Granted, we're from different states and different driving laws. Hopefully you still passed the test!
