I Failed My Driving Test!

Tests aren't fun. Tests are full of pressure and stress. And nobody really ever wants to take a test, not typically. But there is one test that no matter how much pressure or stress, whether you are super prepared or just praying to pass, no mater what, somehow, you are looking forward to and excited to take. Your driving test!

It all starts with your drivers permit. Suhhloni was definitely looking forward to her driving test, excited, well-practiced, prepared and ready! And, even though she was nervous, she felt confident that she would pass.

She was doing great on her road test - no problems - and was almost done when her driving instructor from the DMV asked her to do one final driving maneuver, pull out into traffic, and of course, she couldn't get it right. She tried again - nope - and the third time was not a charm either. She failed.

Practice makes perfect so she practiced the maneuver again and again over the next weeks before her second attempt at passing the test, and this time it wasn't really her driving, it was the tester that got in her way. She was a total monster!

The third time she and her dad decided to go to a different DMV - who wouldn't - and this time she got a very sweet tester and did an absolutely perfect job.

Drivers license - check! Now THAT'S a storytime storybooth story.

Everyone's got a story....we want to hear yours!

I've never had to do a reversed turn onto a road in 12 years of driving. Here in Australia anyway, we aren't asked to do reversed turns onto another road in our tests. Looking at it here, that looks really dangerous and unnecessary. I assume we'd do a U-turn on a safe corner and simply come back to that road.

Imagine if the second teacher was teaching Spongebob how to drive.

I just failed mine today 😳😭

Update: I finally passed it months later after my third try with a much better instructor. 😊

Its good to make mistakes, so we can learn from them!

Lesson: Don't let failure discourage you. Mistakes are valuable

[M.G.]

It should be mandatory for every examiner to smile and ask the learner how they feel when they show up for the test. This way the learner would feel much more relaxed and confident.

I failed today, and I think I have never felt as disappointed as I’m feeling right now before. (I’m going to try again in 2 weeks)

Update: I tried again yesterday, and I passed! 🎉

Girl: But I had a *different* lady testing me.
Me: *THAT IS NOT A LADY!*

0:05 Am i the only one who noticed Frankenstein, Igor, Superman, the Viking dude, and Dracula at the DMV?

This actually makes me feel so much better because I failed mine yesterday for the same reason she failed hers the second time, but I'm not a bad driver at all.. the nerves took over my body :/ Ive been beating myself up over it but these mistakes happen for a reason. Goodluck to everyone taking the test, and remember its ok to fail!!!

The second driving teacher is just like my Arabic teacher at school 😂

When I first took my driving test in 2012, I only failed the parallel parking.


10 years later, I still can’t do it

Remember kids, if you are taking a driving test and you see a angry old lady, crash your car on purpose

[ShadowSorcerer]

Honestly they should have more people like the last guy. Yelling and being mean doesn't help.

1:18-She yelled, *GET OUT OF MY CAR, NOW!!!*

[kaydenminton]

Who else gets really excited when a new storybooth episode comes out? 😆

[ansonsauersauer]

I can totally relate. I failed my first driving test partly because I was a nervous wreck, and partly because my proctor was really stern and critical. She didn't do anything to put me at ease.
