I received a 60%. The last time I drove was on the 4th of July 2006 on a majorly crowded highway in Weehawken, NJ headed towards NYC; the brakes stoppd working and we slammed into the back of a SUV. :eek: No one was hurt in either vehicle, luckily. My girlfriend's van was "undrivable" so declared the Port Authority that pulled the two vehicles apart from eachother (they were stuck together at the fenders, the SUV imbedded in our van).
There was no ticket issued, no insurance claims-- nothing. We had the van towed to a parking lot and it never ran again; would not start, no brakes, leaking all types of unknown fluids, etc. We had a junkyard tow it away. I have not driven since. But, with all the mass transit here, why would I ever need a vehicle anyway? I like not driving. Less money, less danger, less hassle, less stress.

A score of 70% or better is considered passing on a state written drivers test. The correct answers are highlighted below.

I passed the test and I'm not from America... The rules are different where I'm from

They say that 1 out of 11 drivers cant score better then 70% on this test.....
:eek:
Where I come from, driverlicenses are taken very seriously. When I got mine (about five years ago) it cost me 23 lessons and 1100 euro (= $1300). The average for a license these days is 2000 euro....

95% here, missed #3 (but I hardly ever use high beams, so my answer should have counted :p). I suppose that's a good thing, since I do like to drive... unfortunately my car got totaled the day after Christmas (no injuries thank goodness), and I'm still resolving the insurance claim
Oh, and my drivers ed costed $400ish as I recall, for 10 driving lessons and 10 or 20 classroom lessons... that was 5 years ago as well, so I don't remember exactly.

Wow. Is that a one-time fee or do you have to renew every so many years?
I got a 90%. I had no idea when highways were most slippery...

I got 70% which I was rather impressed by seeing as I have a UK driving license (clean, and held for some 25 years now) and the rules/signs are very different here. I have never driven in the US either.
Just goes to show that common sense is common sense wherever you are, I guess.

You were lucky to escape injuries. You wouldn't need to drive within NYC anyway. I only tried driving in Manhattan once and it was terrible, though it's not as bad as driving in Mumbai. :p

I got 100% - looks like I have been taking driving seriously over the past few months. :mrgreen:
