I scored an 85%.

Love the website. Can’t wait for the book.

Cheers.

p.s., I scored 85%.
Citizenship intact.

A driving test should be our single determinant of citizenship or even green card status in America. I personally would emphasise parallel parking, but acknowledge an urban bias, and so would also emphasize passing behavior out in the countryside (Texan drivers are the best in this area, which, I now see, relates to passing behavior in a pool’s lap lanes).
Mandatory deportation for poor grades, even for citizens.

We’ll think of another test for non drivers: pedestrian etiquette?

The L.A. Times just ran a great article on commuters’ stories, here.

Hey, I got a 70%, too, which isn’t so hot. I’m going to be moving soon and having to switch my driver’s license–which means I’ll have to take a written test. Guess I should study some more, huh? Or maybe I’ll just read your book…

I got a 70% on the test but I knew ahead of time the ones I got wrong if that makes any difference. From the way I see other people drive, I don’t think many people would do so well on this test!

Great blog! I scored 95%… no lie. I’ve been driving for about nine years. The only one I missed was number 18, I picked C instead of B.

Okay, I got a 70% which is better than I ever got in school. Truth be told, I never drive and when I do, I’m like the grandma with my white knuckls on the wheel at 10 and 2. I’d like to do this for a passenger. Like, who gets to pick the radio station? What if the a/c is blowing too hard on the driver but just right for you?

Okay, I’ve been driving for 20 years and I’m ashamed to say that I scored fifty percent.

Are some of those trick questions?
