LOL! This one's not so easy to translate, because завалить can have a number of different meanings. But here's my best try (although I had to change the last line quite a bit):

"I didn't pass the test for my driver's license..."
"Did you fail the written part, or did you fail the behind-the-wheel part?"
"I failed to not kill any pedestrians."

P.S. After thinking about it some more, I think another way to render завалить here could be "Did you run into difficulties with the written test, or the driving test?" -- "I didn't run into difficulties; I ran into a pedestrian."
