      Is that question meant for people who actually have a drivers license, or everyone?

      The question was really intended for all people whose first name is Bob and live in the Northern Hemisphere and who only drive on Thursdays at 1pm, while wearing a green scarf. ;)

          Reminds me of that segment from "Over the Top" where the dad has the kid drive the truck since the kid thinks it's oh so simple. I imagine truck driving can be stressful at times.

              Would you pass a formal driving test, written and road, if you took it today?

              Not in New Jersey for sure. IIRC half of the questions in the test were related to automatically remembering useless numbers related to the fines, how many beers are equal to three shots of liquor, in which hours of the day you can drive with conditional license, on which month you have to change your tires with a winter tires etc. I have a co-workers from New York who struggles to pass the test here because of the very many questions barely related to your driving skills. Back in Bulgaria – yes most likely. There the test is manly based on pictures and cartoons on a real situations on the road and you have to give the correct answer based on them. And for experience driver it will be a no-brainer.

                    I have two driving modes. 0. In the family car, sedate and sensible with only occasional swaering. 1. In the TA, totally relaxed as everyone on the road gives me priority as the look and think "What the elephant is that?"

                      Recently, I did actually pass some one on the right. Technically, it wasn't illegal because there wasn't a road on the right.

                      Every time I drive now, the first check is what side am I driving on because Hungary and the UK drive on the opposite sides. Of course I never drive down the road only realising I'm on the wrong side when some idiot is driving head on at me. :rolleyes:

                              Then yes, I would be able to pass the test without having to even get into the car.

                                    Sure. My out-of-state driving license had expired when I applied for a new one in Ohio. 80% of the way through the Law Test - administered by a computer - the computer declared me to have passed. I was peeved I could not see the rest of the questions.

                                      The question was really intended for all people whose first name is Bob and live in the Northern Hemisphere and who only drive on Thursdays at 1pm, while wearing a green scarf. ;)

                                      Didn't a poll of Canadians result in "Bob" being the favored name for Northern Territories when the Canadian Government thought of renaming it, eh?
