What’s the funniest/worst reason you’ve heard that someone failed their driving test?
We don’t want to appear heartless, but some of the responses to a question on r/AskUK from u/av1652 had us in stitches. This was the question –
What’s the funniest/worst reason you’ve heard that someone failed their driving test?
And this is how they got the ball rolling. Or the tyre.
I’ll start it off: someone I heard of crashed into the centre at the start of the test. Stuck it in the wrong gear.
These were our favourite answers.

My cousin failed because she reversed (somewhat enthusiastically I might add) into a dog poo bin.
That was ten years ago and we still bring it up whenever the wee arsehole brags about her car insurance…

Parents’ friend stopped outside a school to pick up his kid. Needless to say it did not go down well.

Me. I locked the keys inside during the maintenance questions. So we could not get into the car to do the test and the driving instructor’s brother fetched his other key up.

They thought they were supposed to turn off the engine at junctions and traffic lights.

I left the driving centre and the examiner said “If I don’t tell you to go left or right, assume I want you to go straight”. Got to the first junction, literally 10 metres from my start point. He didn’t say anything so I went ahead. It was a left turn only junction. Failed immediately.

My ex-boyfriend instantly failed his test because he forgot to take his provisional license with him. Didn’t even get in the car.
