The mess left by the driver is almost as tragic as the comments section under the article.

Oh, I know LOL

Be interesting to know if where the driver had the accident was a public road or considered private property. One could argue that technically the driver wasn't on a public highway therefore not an automatic fail

I passed my California drivers test in 1997 with flying colors. It took about 10 minutes total, right turn out of DMV, drive straight a few blocks, turn right, a couple more block, turn right onto freeway, exist, right turn, drive a couple block, right turn back into DMV lot.

I remember at the time there was a bit of controversy because the state had just started to require as part of the test to go on freeway/highway to see if you could enter and exist properly.

I could probably pass with practice and going to a driving school for the test here in BC, it's like 45 minutes to an hour long, anxiety just being with the test person that long is bad enough. But based on how bad people drive here, well maybe its not very hard, they really don't retest unless your a complete bad driver and collect a history, after 80 I think there is bit more of a hurdle to get a license renewed with some sort of assessment but I don't know if it included an actual road test.

But if you have a full license from the list of places BC accepts as being on par with our requirements, no road test needed, you just get to exchange your old license with the new BC one. (vision test and written test might be required however.)

The Washington State version is more difficult, including 3point turns, reversing around corners while staying within 1ft of the curb, and parallel parking. It also has crazy rules like when turning right you are only allowed to go into the rightmost lane. Luckily I got my US license in California where I just had a great chat to the instructor about Britain while driving around a city block.

I wonder if they make you do hill starts/parking in places like Grand Forks/Fargo in North Dakota?
