B+ 89%. I missed two and would argue that one of the ones I missed is pointless. :D

Wheew! I passed with a 78%. I drive properly only 78% of the time so that's pretty accurate.

I guess there are things I forgot in 28 years of driving. Isn't giving the bird to a trucker passing you the right answer?

Got an 89 as well. Missed the % of accidents involving alcohol one (which really isn't a valid question, IMO) and I said pedestrians had the right of way at all times.

I got those 2 wrong, plus feet behind a firetruck....I'm not sure we have that rule here.

Are those rules the same all over the US? Here in Canada, there might be differences between provinces and (especially for parking) between cities.

unfortunately the test does not reflect individual state laws. here in AZ school zones are 15 mph not 20....

78%, two wrong answers required the exact number (which had never been covered...) and the other two were ambiguous enough that there were really two possible answers that were correct.

I got ones wrong where I erred on the side of safety (like parking 50 feet from a stop sign instead of 25) so I don't think that's fair. :evil:

61% :oops:

but like many, I have an axe to grind regarding some of "wrong" answers.

40% of all accidents involve alcohol? are they high!!??!! what about all the little fender-benders? I swear I wasn't drinking!!

and I'll park 100 feet from the stop-sign, I'm still legal!!

I too thought Peds have the right-of-way always....I walk like I have that, good thing I drive like that too I guess.

still passed!!

I'm starting to think that the test is probably a little dated... I think distracted driving now contributes about 30% of all accidents (includes, cell phones, texting, eating, drinking(not drinking), removing hand from wheel, etc.)

89% myself also, which I don't think is too shabby for someone who rides his bike almost as much as he drives.
Missed the one about the speed in school zones, which I think varies from state-to-state — in Wisconsin it's 15 mph per Wisc Statute 346.57(4)(a) and (b)....and almost universally ignored, even by the cops themselves; and the one about what to do when the headlights fail.

No, it's just that some of them seem to think they do. Imagine the fun if someone all of a sudden decided they wanted to cross, ohhh, let's say MoPac Boulevard in Austin anytime he or she felt like it??

Your Grade: C+
78% You Passed with an Average Score

Who follows a fire truck, you pull off to the side and make sure there's not a cop or ambulance coming afterwards then proceed...

In Ocean City it's 25 in a school zone only when the light is flashing ...

Well the way the freaking shoobies cross the street around here, you'd think they have right away all the time...

and finally does it really matter if you know what anti locks break do? As long as I have them and they are working is fine with me. :wink:
