Title: Studying for the written driver's license test. . .
Post by: TVC15 on April 23, 2008, 02:52:18 PM
JESUS this is a pain in the ass.  How about you guys just tell me what will be on the written test.  It will be like high school.  I'll let you copy my english homework then.  Just don't copy my sentences exactly.  Change them a little bit.

WTF?  What took you so long?  I just thought you didn't like driving because of health reasons.

I need to get my license as well.  I'm 27. :'(

I grew up in NYC where there is no need for cars for the majority of the population.  High rent and car insurance also make owning a car a big financial liability.  I'd rather save my money.

You mean the multiple choice test for the driver's permit? Is it not MC where you live?

Passing the permit test was easy. I just read the book once or twice (NYC). I didn't pass the driving test because my parking was bad. I'm gonna try it again once this semester is over.

How many times do they let you take it on the same day in Washington?  In California, they give you 3 chances.  Since they recycle questions a lot, most people usually pass it by the 2nd or 3rd try.

If you fail it once you have to wait 4 hours to take it again.  After that I dunno.

Quote
It is a multiple-choice test
with 25 questions, and you must correctly answer 20 of
them to pass the test.

I remember when I got mine in PA, you couldn't get more than like 3 questions wrong.  I guess they had to dumb down the rules here since there are so many asians.

If you're serious, I might still have my old written test if you want me to copy the answers.  It's all very basic common sense but they do test your memorization of some arbitrary rules.  Some of my younger are taking the test right now so I can give you the hook-up on some "fresh" tests.

I'm sure it's all common sense.  I just recall from before the questions with numbers being like kicks in the nuts.  Like, asking how many dollars worth of insurance you must have.  Why should you have to know that off-hand?  Or questions that ask exactly how many feet you should be away from things before you begin hitting the brakes and shit.  I don't drive with a fucking tape measurer in the car.  Just give me the basic, important questions like when it is and when it isn't okay to jerk off while driving.

over here it's about 8 questions that  you can get wrong but they're all multiple choice and only a couple are road sign questions.

Kentucky's is pretty basic.

Nothing as complicated as "how many dollars of insurance do you need?" Especially since that really has nothing to do with the mechanical operation of a car.
Title: Re: Studying for the written driver's license test. . .
Post by: Phoenix Dark on April 23, 2008, 03:08:08 PM
yup, lots of road sign questions here as well as many scenario type questions ("if you're behind a car, how far behind should you be"). Very easy. I just went on a quick drive into a more rural area of the state, saw most of the signs, and figured out what they meant on my own

it's fucknut annoying, he's doing the right thing

Why are there 2 different signs for pedestrian and school crossing?  Is it somehow worse to run over school children than it is the elderly?  Jesus, I'm sick of children and all their minority, special rights.  You get in more trouble if you run them over, you can't fuck them, you can't beat them, they don't give anything back to society, but they leech leech leech our tax dollars. They even get their own SPECIAL SIGN!

I took the Washington state written test back in 1998, so it might be different now. It was all multiple choice questions on a computer, I passed on the first try, it wasn't hard. Read over the book a couple times, you'll be fine.

I confuse myself I'm so tired right now dude, I had to edit that sentence like 3 times.  :-\  We cool?  We cool?  They should have a Negro-Apology line like 1-800-flowers but you could order fried chicken and watermelon. 

1-800-negroes add:

Shanaynay: What's the matter boo?

Jerome: Yesterday John-Francis said some ignorant stuff at work and I tried to explain to him how black people feel but he just didn't get it.  I was trying not to get mad cause I know he comes from a different world but that nicca pissed me off and I kinda blew up at him. 

Shanaynay: You all still gettin together on Sunday then for football?

Jerome: I don't know we both said some hurtful things.

*knock knock knock*  (editors note: black people don't have door bells)

Jerome: Who's that?

*opens door*

Delivery guy (white dude): Package for a Mr. Jerome Zulu.

Jerome: Now who could have sent me a package?  What company are you with?

Delivery guy: 1-800-negroes.  Someone must've acted a fool eh daaaaawg?  HAHAHA!  Have a great day.  *leaves*

Jerome: Oh now I feel bad, that nicca John-Francis.  I'm holler at him, he didn't have to get me this.

Shanaynay:  WATERMELON & FRIED CHICKEN!  Jerome you gotta scare more white people at work, this'll save us grocery money!

*cuts to scene showing the different types of baskets and gifts available*

*old white dude comes on*

Old White Dude: We here at 1-800-negroes know that it's very easy to offend black people because they still haven't gotten over that slavery thing yet.  Well there's good news folks because while they're easily offended, black people looooooove fried chicken and watermelon.  So if you've offended a black man/woman at work and fear for your life (with good reason) just give us a call and we'll set things straight.

I'm in PA and didn't read the book for my permit test. I did look through at the pictures though, and I read the chapter about the signs. They'll show you pictures of signs and ask what they mean. Like, this one http://www.indygov.org/NR/rdonlyres/55138DE3-558F-4885-A50F-412891C768A0/0/S11.gif is for a school zone, but if it were to have a line at the bottom, it would be school crossing. That'll trip you up. Also know which way you're supposed to turn your wheels when parking on a hill.

if you can't tell what a sign means just by quickly glancing at it, is it really a sign or is it more of an irritating civil engineering picture puzzle that might cause you to actually run down a few children in frustration

Seriously, the point of signs with illustrations ARE so that you can quickly glance at them and be like, OH, I need to do this in order to not be pulled over by a pissed off cop.

They've just overcomplicated things.
