Did you pass your driver's test on the first try?

Aced the permit test.

Failed my first behind the wheel. Turned underhand twice, -16 each time...thing that sucked about that, the lady giving me the test was also my behind the wheel instructor, and she never mentioned once that I was doing anything wrong.

Yes. It was insanely easy. I missed one question (following distance behind a motorcycle - I put more than a regular car, so I erred on the side of safety) and as far as I know, my driving portion was perfect. I'd not thought it possible to fail the things until my brother failed his a few years ago.

yup...almost failed though cuz some a-hole coming in other direction pulled a left turn on me randomly while the light was yellow without signaling. The instructor docked me 15 points for that. Then I think I signaled too early somewhere too. I was about 3 points shy of failing.

I failed the permit test because of a few stupid questions that would require reading the book to know the answer to. But I passed the actual driving test the first time.

Failed first permit test because I didn't study. Aced the second time.

Failed first driving test because the parallel parking cones were moved 3 feet closer than they were supposed to be. They had motorcycle tests right before mine and forgot to move the cones back.

Anyway, I didn't find out until I got my license on my second attempt that they were closer than normal. You bet I threw a fit! :)

Keep in mind, I took my drivers test in a full size high top coversion van with all the windows covered in curtains. I couldn't see a damned thing in that tank... every little bit of space helps in that thing.

In the US, fail the driving test here? You gotta be kidding me!

In other countries, its quite possible.
