This was posted on cnn today. Thought it was kinda funny to see the % of people that failed the test in each state.

Funny that more people then the Canadian population living in the States don't even know what their doing on the road. Here's the quiz, I got 75% and kinda rushed it.

I have absolutely no doubt that most people couldn't pass a test to drive.
That said, I took an online test for this stuff a year ago when Yahoo posted something similar (I think the test was given by Progressive), and it actually counted some of the answers wrong that were correct. For example, they said you had to give a turn signal 100 feet before turning, but in Tennessee it's only 50 feet. I'm sure most people would still fail, but stuff like that does make me wonder how accurate these tests are. |

Grew up in Cali and when I moved to Nevada I was only 24, with 25 being the magic number not having to take a test to get a Nevada license. I barely passed missed 13 out of 15 allowed. Some of the questions I was like "wtf They never even mentioned this in my california driving schools." |

You can't make a test for everyone and claim its results are accurate when the questions are flawed. |
