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?

DVLA "change over" sucksI failed to be licenced to drive after I passed my driving test.
I was learning to drive in 1996 when we were leading up to the introduction of the theory test. Sadly through cockups my instructor was astonished by I failed the test twice.
By the time I sat and passed my third test they had introduced the theory test however they'd done it AFTER I'd booked the actual driving test.
Hence I got the oh so rewarding words:
"I'm pleased to tell you that you've passed! Sadly you may not operate a motor vehicle until you've sat and passed your driving theory test."
Had to send off to book onto the theory. Which gave me a date a month later, then the damn thing was done on paper and I had to wait 2 weeks for them to mark it!!!
Thus I had passed my driving test for 2 months before I was actually licenced to drive!
Incidentally both the examiners who failed me were dull blokes with dodgy sunglasses and it was a woman who passed me, which surprised me after I drifted along in my own world chatting about her daughter and glancing at her legs.
