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

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

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

      So driving in the shoulder is suddenly legal?

      Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

        In fact, I had forgotten to renew my license a few years ago. Thankfully I was only two weeks after expiration, so they didn't make me take any tests. I was quite worried. :)

          I got an 80% when I took my road driving test, and I haven't gotten any better at parallel parking...

            If there had been a shoulder I am sure it would be illegal but considering I was passing two drunk drivers in two pickup trucks creating a rolling roadblock because it was "funny" I would probably have been the least of the Sheriff's concern.

                  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.

                      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?"

                              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.

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

                                        Written no way, road test... I think yes, but depending on how good sex had the examiner on the previous night.

Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
