INCORRECT
When do pedestrians have the right of way?
At all times
Only at marked (painted) crosswalks
Only at intersections
CORRECT ANSWER: At crosswalks and intersections regardless if the crosswalk is marked (painted) or not.

Pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks and intersections regardless if the crosswalk is marked (painted) or not.



WRONG
this shit will get you locked up in Cali
if a pedestrian is in the road they have the right of way no matter what.
and you have to wait for them to get onto the next sdiewalk before moving

so this test is wrong
at least for west coasters

It blows but it has to be done.

61% D-

I got all the stupid shit wrong like distance for a fire truck, speed in school zone, alcohol %, and stop sign parking. I got pretty much everything else right.

******* if you're going to take the quiz, do it first since i've got some spoilers in here *************

67% You Barely Passed

i agree with steve's post above, and i'll add some more of my own.

INCORRECT
This picture demonstrates how to signal a __________ if the signals on your car do not work.

* Right turn
* Left turn
* CORRECT ANSWER: Slow or stop
* "Pass me"

i assumed it had to be left or right turn, since those are the only signals i've seen. but explain this to me... what the fuck are you don't on the road if you know your brake lights don't work? that seems like it would be highly illegal to me, and there's no way you find out in the middle of driving that you're brake lights are out.



INCORRECT
Anti-locking brake systems can help improve steering ability, which means __________

* Avoiding spin-outs
* CORRECT ANSWER: Directing the car where the driver wants it to go.
* Decreasing the distance needed to stop the vehicle.


this whole question is actually wrong according to every explanation i've ever heard, but maybe i've heard a lot of misinformation. the point in ABS is that it pumps the brake for you, and too many people fuck up trying to pump brakes. when are you supposed to pump the brakes? ice and show, so you don't spin out. and if you have ABS, DO NOT PUMP THE BRAKE cause you're fucking up the purpose. but the point in ABS is to prevent brakes locking / spinouts in ice and snow.



You are driving at night when your low-beam headlights stop working. What should you do?


* Turn on your emergency flashers and keep driving
* Turn on your high-beam headlights if they keep working and keep driving
* CORRECT ANSWER: Pull off the road and turn on your emergency flashers

i had no clue on this one. i first thought flashers, but then you can't see at all. high-beams are what normal people do (and let's be honest, should do) in practice. but the third one is terrible advice... "hey, you're in the middle of fucking nowhere and your low-beams don't work... just pull over and hope for the best" not a chance.



and going back to steve's post... someone hit a jaywalker and try that defense in court. "but your honor, it wasn't at a crosswalk or intersection, so i thought it was legal to run that mother fucker over."


defstarsteve - 8-22-2009 at 02:16 PM

yeah my answer to the lights would be
turn on your high beams and get to a service station
fuck sitting alone by the side of a dark highway...
your life just became a bad new school pg-13 horror movie...

random - 8-22-2009 at 02:20 PM

the service station thing is key. i remember a few years back when women kept getting pulled over by fake cops and raped, and they were suggesting that if you see flashing lights, you should turn on your emergency flashers to show you noticed the cop (or "cop") and then pull over at the next service station.

BAM!


Your Grade: B
83% You Passed with an Above Average Score

(stupid imperial units of measure)

what's with you guys and this booze stuff? my only booze question was about "implied consent" which has nothing to do with the amount consumed.

forsaken - 8-22-2009 at 08:58 PM

I tried to do it but you guys drive on the wrong side of the road so everything is the wrong way around.

Am I right Six66Mike? Let me hear a hell yeah for driving on the left!!

DAK - 8-22-2009 at 10:24 PM

78%

Six66Mike - 8-22-2009 at 10:30 PM

lol left side driving is weird and roundabouts still bother me because cunts come flying in from all directions hoping the other guy is gonna slow down. I still don't drive, wife does now though.

haha fuck, you should see some of the cunt roundabouts where i live ... there'll be 6-8 entrances/exits and a fucking bush in the middle of the roundabout so you cant see 75% of them and you just pray and hope no ones coming when you pull out.

Six66Mike - 8-23-2009 at 06:16 AM

lol saw a couple around with like 5-6 exits, was retarded. Almost got smoked on a blind corner a couple weeks ago, fence was sitting out right up close to the street so you can't see anything coming, and of course nobody slows down. Woops.

Dave - 8-23-2009 at 07:13 AM

we have one of those.....
