Re: Are you a better driver than the average Yank?
Why isn't there an Everyday Driver test?? Tough questions like -
1. You are driving along a single lane road and a driver is following you too close (tailgating); you should A. Reduce your speed and switch on your indicator.... by raising your middle finger above shoulder height pretending to adjust your rear view mirror. B. Resort to the 2nd Amendment; roll down your window, waving your gun as an invitation to the driver to overtake you with an introductory "Hey Mofo..." C. Allow for the opportunity for the driver behind you to be courteous by providing a new car to you by slamming on your brakes. |

Got the one about indicator distance wrong, but at least I do indicate. I find it amazing how many people in LA drive very lowely base model cars like BMW's Merc's Infiniti's. At least I presume they must be very basic as they don't appear to have an indicator stick.:sneaky: |
Re: Are you a better driver than the average Yank?
100%, but I just sat my TX written test on Monday, so all of the stuff is still reasonably fresh in my mind.
The bit that worries me is the actual driving. It's over 20 years since I last drove a car and the idea of hurtling around in partial control of a big metal box on wheels seems like madness to my older, more risk averse self.:eek: |
Re: Are you a better driver than the average Yank?
No.

Re: Are you a better driver than the average Yank?
I got 90%, missed out because I didn't stop for the pedestrian or signaled 100 ft away from where I turned. Lucky if anyone around here signals. Though to be fair I am a crap driver.

Oh and would you believe 100%, one was a guess, however ! |
Re: Are you a better driver than the average Yank?

Re: Are you a better driver than the average Yank?
