So there's a news item out talking about how stupid and clueless drivers are.
On the evening edition they will also break two new monumental discoveries, water is wet and the sky is blue.
anyway there was a link to a drivers quiz with questions taken from drivers tests across the country.
http://moneycentral.msn.com/quiz/dri...quiz/home.aspx
I scored 85, missed three of twenty.
got an 85 too ...
missed 1,3,5
I was thinking differently then the questions I missed were asked.. other then #5... I've never seen that question before. LOL
Wow, I only got a 75.
^^ This!Quote:

85... 3,7,10
Surprised myself and got a 90 [Beer]
the ones I missed were 3, 6 and 7.
I got a 95.. and was pretty sure I was going to get #3 wrong.. and I did.. based on where the turn-off for my house is..
as a side note: stereotypes are sometimes justified, LOL:
The average score for men is 83
The average score for women is 78
all that wasted time. i got a zero.
i guess it need cookies to be enabled..........or i cant drive.
What is the driving test in Colorado like? I took my test in Florida. Ten multiple choice questions and ten minutes around the car park. I thought I was taking a cursory test for immigrants who already knew how to drive. How wrong I was...
Colorado drivers are the most patient, courteous people by comparison :D
95 / 100
I knew we thought a lot alike (sorry if that's an insult to you! [Wink])Quote:

HAHAHA. [Beer]
90
Nice test.
Another fun one is the US Citizen Naturalization Test.
If thinking alike is the criteria for how your life might turn out, dude, you're screwed! Sorry!Quote:

H.
Most states require a score of 80 or better to get a license.
You scored: 95
Missed number 4.
95 missed number 3...
Ha! That exactly what I missed.Quote:

Some of those I would like to cross reference with the traffic code here. I got a 80.
Missed
1. I know that you don't legally have to obey an officer no matter what.
3. I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to cross over a double yellow at any time...at least in some states you aren't allowed to.
6. I'm sure if traffic is going 80 in a 60 and you try to explain to the cops that you were "trying to keep up with traffic" they won't care.
18. That's not on the books [Neene1]
It might be just that - I can still remember my Colorado drive test because it was not so long ago :)Quote:

Ok, I feel qualified to answer these because I got a 95.. [LOL]
agreed, but you're going to obey a sign or a possibly broken traffic light over an officer directing traffic? The idea is that a human being with a brain & authority should take priority over the automated systemsQuote:

95, missed number 10 the DUI question.
Got an 85, I think most of us fell for the same ones.
Chalked up a 90... not to bad, considering I haven't see a test like that in over 10 year. Some of those questions did seem a little bogus.
score: 95
missed: #10
90
7 & 10 got me.
I scored 90. 18 out of 20.
Missed: when you can cross a double yellow? I answered never. But after thinking about it I do cross them to turn into a driveway.
Missed: the how to merge onto a highway. I answered when it was clear.
Slap yourself if you missed #9.
I took it again and got an 82%.
85 missed 5, 19, 20
