  1. D- But the test is wrong anyhow. yeah i am going to pull over if my lights dont work and just sit there. Who the hell would ever do that? Pedestrians always always have right of way.

  2. I am not american, i do not know your rules, and i passed (barely, d- (<- what does that mean?). This driving test is way to easy.. If you follow a dutch test, it is much more of a challenge. I studied for that one and still barely passed.

  3. Some of these laws differ from state to state, municipality to municipality. Some of the questions had NOTHING to do with driving ability like percentage of accidents related to alcohol.

  4. 61% oh well I took the test in 82,I love the if a big truck wants to pass you ,flip him the bird lmao that was too funny,bitscared let me know if you are going to the BBQ I want to make DAYUM sure I get there before you do

  5. 67 – who the hell pulls over when their low-beams go out?!? DUH! and the rest of the statistics crap has zero bearing on my ability to drive properly… they sure changed a bunch of stuff since I took my test.

  6. Yeah, I know what you mean, Paul. I couldn’t get over the fact they didn’t ask about guns, pickup trucks, and NASCAR. Don’t they know anything about real drivers?

  7. That was a lousy test. Example: Out of the 4 choices for speed in a school zone (15, 20, 25, 30), all 4 are legal somewhere in the US. There are some states with school zone speed limits as low as 10 and as high as 35, and this link claims Georgia has them posted as high as 45 mph. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_the_United_States
    (I know it’s Wikipedia. It’s the best I could do…I was stressed after my D- .)

  8. Your Grade: F….Ive driven in the US for 3 yrs now….havin passed my driving test in the UK…..best i read up the US laws lol

  9. I have issues with the pedestrian questions! As someone who lives in a state with the highest rate of pedestrian incidents/fatalities, we are taught to AlwAYS let the pedestrian have the right of way, regardless of street markings, crosswalks, lights. It’s great to say that I’m supposed to have the right of way, but it doesn’t prevent the collision that happens when the pedestrian runs into my vehicle.

    /for the record, we have a high level of tourism and foreigners… as well as oblivious walkers.

  10. Of course pedestrians don’t always have the right of way. That doesn’t mean you aren’t obliged to avoid them if you can, but jaywalkers by definition are violating someone else’s right-of-way. It was a very fair question.

    Same goes for driving at night without a working set of headlights. How do you have a license if you miss that?

  11. D-, but I’m just another bloody tourist when on American soil. 🙂

    Missed the country-specifics, like speed limits and distances as they vary around the lovely globe.

  12. lol D+, and i got all the distance and speed limit questions wrong – i tried translating feet into meters in my mind, but either got it wrong or they have different rules in the states 🙂

    still can drive though apparently

    i actually drove there for a couple of weeks while on vacation, and the rules are deceptively similar; several things i thought weird though – right of passage on unmarked crossroads (over here the right car always has the right), and being able to turn right on red traffic light…
