When I first read this article from AutoWeek showing half of licensed drivers would fail a written driving test, I was shocked. Who ARE these people driving around next to me? Not only that, but more than 60 percent of drivers fail the test the first time they take it?
I know who you are. You are the no-idea-what-to-do-at-a-four-way-stop drivers.
But then I took the quiz suggested in in the article and found that apparently driving rules are quite tricky. I scored 85 percent, which is considered passing, but I can’t deny that I had a few lucky guesses, too.
Here’s what learned:
A parent or legal guardian can request a driver’s license be taken away for drivers under 18. What? Holy parental power!
You are required to signal every time you pull away from a curb. I guess this makes sense but not a rule I really thought about until now.
You should not use your horn to alert other drivers they did something wrong. Just kidding, I got this question right. But I would really like to be friends with someone who thought horns were for public shaming.
To further shake your driving confidence, you can view Missouri driving test sample questions here. Just make sure you know a) where the DMV will get your address for a reminder postcard, b) the speed a tractor trailer can drive on a highway, and c) what FACT stands for. Also, apparently “No-Zone” is now the term for “blind spot.”
Consider me humbled.
How did you score? Would you have to give up your license if the state gave you a written test today?
