<human>: TIFU 

So this was about 1.5 yrs ago. 

I am get a cab from my hotel to a military installation. This place is the type that does not allow you in without ID and a reason to be there. So I tell the cab driver he needs to drop me off in the front of the place at the taxi stand and to NOT approach the gate. I am half asleep cause it is 5 am. I am not paying total attention and look up, as we get to the base. He pulls in towards the gate. Now, one way to really tick off a guard, is to try to do a turn around ahead of the gate. It looks suspicious, they will not take it well, and will likely pursue you and be exceptionally unhappy with you. So we are now committed to driving to the gate to tell the guard my driver is a dumb ass. We get there, we have 4 visible guards, all of them armed with M4s. They signal for him to stop as we get to the gate. I am realizing now, he is sweating bullets and has a totally freaked out look on his face. He hits the gas instead of the brake, the engine revs, the car vaults forward, he hits the brake and stops 3 feet from the closest guard. I am screaming at him at this point to stop the F'ing car, and calling him every name I can muster. I realize all of a sudden that the guards (who are now ALL pointing their rifles at us), are also screaming at us. They yank us both out of the car, and over the next 20-30 minutes (felt like 3 hours) we are having a pleasant chat with them and their supervisor, before they clear us. They send him on his way and I get to go to work and explain to my boss why security called him about me. These guards don't mess around. It was very fortunate we did not get shot at. Another 100th of a second they would have opened fire on us and at that range, we would have been hamburger.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: UBER driver didn't listen to me, almost rammed the gate at a military installation and nearly got us both killed.
