FailedOn my third driving test, I turned right out of the test centre, reached a pedestrian crossing, attempted to run over a little old lady, was prevented from doing so by the examiner grabbing the wheel, then proceeded straight back to the test centre.
The drive home was very, very quiet. I've never felt such a complete failure.
What have you failed at?

Failed to get out of the way of a reversing car.....1986, Northern Ireland.
A small, 7 year old weapon fails to spot a brown ford crapi, reversing toward him in a car park in Lisburn. The following few seconds were and are a completely dead sector of my memory. I crawled out from under the car and around the corner to my home. Th driver was too shocked to help, git. Long story short, skinned my back completely, broke my neck and my head took 50 some stitches worth of a pounding. May not sound like many, but when you're 7, your head is quite small.
On the plus side, the driver bought me a bag of M&Ms while I was in belfast hospital.
