If, while taking your driver's test, you do the following, you're probably not guaranteed to pass...

"Epic Fail". I guess that's what it said on the driver's test.

Especially when the building is the testing center (and the testing officer is still in the passenger seat!)

Check out the television news coverage of the event -- including video of the crash from inside the building. It's amazing that nobody was killed!

Granted, but I suspect hitting any building during the test may hinder your chances of passing

Except, of course, here in LA - where I am still looking for the gumball machine they get their licenses from.

OMG I agree, how on earth no one was killed is unbelievable.
But if you are going to fail, it doesn't get much better than that!


ps. If Iceman was the driving instructor, he would have already failed the driver... he had his fogs on during the day
