Haha.

Scored better than me, and I LIVE here.

Yeah, but you don't actually drive. I unfortunately do. *sigh* (I hate driving.)

You know you want to......

....I pity the kids crossing the street in the fall...

I got 85%. Pretty good for someone who's only had her learner's permit for a week and a half...

85% for me, too. I also messed up the distance before turning that you signal (I said 50 feet too!), but that can be excused because I live in DC, where nobody in his right mind would use a turn signal anyhow (it just gives the guy in the next lane an excuse to cut you off! ).

I also said 10 seconds instead of 3 for the following distance. (My brain was saying "5 seconds per mile"...but I guess that's for lightning. Pathetic, I know.)

And I messed up whether to stop for a steady yellow light. Again, I plead living in DC, where a yellow light means "accelerate."

School busses! Pah! Flashing yellow lights! meh!

Diamond shaped warning signs! *Shakes head*

Stopping for pedestrians! What kind of weiners are you?

I scored badly, ok? So far the only real dangerous guy arauond with a whooping 55%!

note to self: call wyoming and tell them Prebe's coming and NOT to give him a car!!

don't feel bad about it. Just because we know the rules, doesn't mean that we follow them! I'm sure some of these lunatics aren't any safer on the road than you are!

Heh! Wyoming is quite large isn't it? Are there actually any pedestrians in Wyoming?

You should have scored 100%. This knowledge is fresh for you.

85%, and on two of the three I got wrong, I debated between the right answer and the one I chose.

Yeah, and I just barely passed the test...one more question wrong, and I would have had to retake it...and some of those questions were badly worded, or weren't in the manual. Like the one about school busses? if you're traveling on a divided highway, or a road where there's a raised median, in the opposite direction from the school bus, you don't have to stop. (just an example, btw, I got that one right!)

I can only speak for Florida law, but certain conditions have to be met for this to be the case.

The median dividing the highway must be 3 feet or wider, or the raised median must be taller than 3 feet. (I think. This is off the top of my head and as I said, it's been two decades since I was an examiner).

yeah, see, different areas are different. In VA, taken straight from the driver's manual: You do not have to stop, however, if you are traveling in the opposite direction on roadways separated by a physical barrier or unpaved median area.

I got 90%, and we drive on the other side of the road, don't have much fog, or school buses or four-way intersectsions, and I had to convert Imperial to Metric...

what can I say? I'm an excellent driver...

(and I did drive in teh States on my trip there in 2005 - nothing like a road trip in California/Nevada/Arizona to hone your driving skills!)

I'm from Oz too, but only got 65%, so you better hope I never come over there and rent a car.
