National Drivers Test - Results
Your score was: 100%
A score of 70% or better is considered passing on a state written drivers test.
I'm either pretty smart....or very lucky.......

My daughter is going to get her license next week and I have been helping her along. The written test is pretty easy but to tell you the truth I would hate to have to take the driven test again. My boy failed his the first time even tho he took the test in our Excursion and passed everything even parallel parking but the instructor said he didn't turn around and look behind him enough. I taught him to use his mirrors more instead of bobbing around like a chicken so he could also keep an eye on the road in front of him. Boy was I wrong I told the instructor that I used to have a 40ft motorhome that I drove all over and it wouldn't do a bit of good to turn around and look cause all I would see was the kitchen They have no sense of humor either.

100%. This test has been here before.
Jazz_kt one of the latest driving tips I read somewhere, it is better to use properly adjusted mirrors that the turn anround "head check." Good luck to all that are going to be taking their drivers test.

100%

During heavy dust, hard rain, etc, I not only turn on the head lights, but also my flashers. Also, if I can see the traffic ahead slowing or stopping quickly, I'll turn on my flashers. I guess it works, because I can't remember the last time someone ran right up on me.

We've had drivers around here run into the back of a Police car that was sitting on the shoulder of a highway with the blue lights flashing.......
There's no use to try to make something "Idiot-Proof".
Nature just keeps coming up with bigger idiots.

95%. Missed the "when is a wet road most slippery" one. Half the year our roads are a sheet of ice. It's not a big deal to us if it's only raining.
