I could've killed us

  1. If you plan to drive anywhere by yourself, you have to take and pass the road test. However, I failed my first time, as many people do. My instructor was an old and very forgiving Filipino man. He reminded me of my father. I drove almost perfectly but my anxiety was starting to get the best of me near the end. I had to make a simple left-turn onto a two-lane road, instead I turned left onto oncoming traffic.

    Automatic Fail

    Thankfully, there were no cars. I had enough time to reverse and pull into the correct road and then back to the DMV we went. It was a very sad moment realizing I had failed my first time after practicing for nearly two years to get it perfect. All because of one anxiety-induced mistake.

    Question:

    How many times did it take for you to pass and is there a funny story to go along with it?

     
  2. Fail links are my kink
     
  3. Shh, I was trying to find a good relateable pic
     
  4. *relatable
     
  5. Sorry but most people don’t fail their driving test. If you fail your driving test you are a horrible driver and should only drive when necessary or else you’ll just be *that* person that everybody else has to constantly tread around because you can’t drive.

    Now, you can become a better driver. But it takes actual work. Please don’t be that person who just tries again and hopes to get lucky. It’s not a game where you just try until you win. You failed for a reason.
     
  6. Shoot I saw it as a game. Passed my first time ?
     
  7. from first time
     
  8. Yikes, take the stick out your butt. Everyone I know irl didn't pass their first time. Like I said, I practiced for two years to pass the test and I still failed. :')
     
  9. i passed on my first try.. next time turn on some music to relax you
     
  10. It's a part of the test to turn off the radio completely and talk only when necessary :'(
     
  11. maybe where you at but I was blasting the radio when I took mines
     
  12. Ye, it was super awkward and anxiety driven having to just sit in silence knowing he was watching my every move.
     
  13. Parents don’t forget to hug your child before they grow up to be like this killjoy ☹️
