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?

Should have been a failure"Just pull in to the side of the road". Ok. Bump Bump. Two wheels up onto the pavement, then off again, coming to a stop “fairly” near the curb. Still went through with the rest of the test, it was actually nice and relaxing knowing I'd failed.
At the end of the test I got “Mr Nowhere, I’m please to tell you you’ve passed”. Ok, well I wasn’t going to argue but was something going on here?
Earlier, while sat in the waiting room with the other victims and all our driving instructors, the examiners entered and greeted each learner with a curt “Morning Mr Soandso I shall be your examiner today”. When it got to my turn tho they ignored me and addressed my instructor with: “Awright Dave! He one of your’s then?” Turned out he’d worked there until about a year before and was still drinking buddies with them. Had wondered why he was so keen that I ask for a test at that particular centre.
Names have been changed to protect the guilty.
Oh, and as far as failure goes, does failing to be interesting or amusing count? Guilty again.
