75% 
But in my defence, I live in NC where people think the indicators are only there to make your car look pretty, and whose drivers brake at the last minute when they are turning .... so I must have picked up some bad habits

85% however I answered question 8 as B because there are signs all over this area that say 'Pass on the left, its the law'

Are you confused by zebra crossing signs? Many are apparently!

I signaled at 50ft instead of 100ft and I did something wrong at the steady yellow light.

100%
I train professional drivers, anything less than 100% would be an embarrassment to me.

At least I know that an indicator stick is used to signal and not to hang your mobile phone on or purse...and yes, I have seen people do this..

95% - apparently I follow TOO FAR BACK, thinking that I should leave 10 seconds instead of 3 seconds.
Thank God I don't share the road with some of you.
On second thoughts, sharing the road with Texans who most likely score <20% makes you lot pretty safe!

I then went to gas up and my door jammed - half locked, half not locked. All other doors locked, keys in car. Pop-a-Lock used an inflatable balloon thingy between the door jamb and the window and a lasso down to the lock - took 3 seconds to open the door!

I hope Pat notes that Vermont drivers were number 14. Also I am not surprised to see Georgia drivers at number 47.
