English term or phrase: All right your way?

Hi, I am translating the following text, it's British English:

He passed his driving test on the third attempt and must have set a world record for the fastest fail ever when he said 'All right your way?' to the driving instructor on his first attempt as they pulled out of the test centre.

I don't understand the sentence between quotations. Why did the instructer failed him?
