Studying for the written driver's license test. . .

[TVC15]

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.

[Bloodwake]

You don't have a driver's license?

[The Fake Shemp]

Driver's licenses are for squares.

[Phoenix Dark]

SMH

I passed it without studying. Just like the ACT

[Smooth Groove]

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

[Rman]

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.

[Beezy]

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.

[TVC15]

You don't have a driver's license?

I used to have one, but I haven't in like. . .6-7 years.  I didn't have a car and I just let it expire.

[Powerslave]

Rman is 27

nicca I thought you were like 20 or something

[demi]

I've got my permit... for about 3 years now? I need to renew again, airports make a huge fit if you have an expired ID.

[Bloodwake]

The test is usually multiple choice and easy as fuck. Don't worry about it.

[Smooth Groove]

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.  

[Rman]

Rman is 27

nicca I thought you were like 20 or something

Look at my profile.

[Rman]

nvm.

[hyp]

Rman is 27

nicca I thought you were like 20 or something

[Powerslave]

Rman more like Oldman

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

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.

[Rman]

Ooh, ice burn by Eli Porter.  

[brawndolicious]

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.

[Eric P]

the written test for va is a goddamn whore

they start off with 15 signs

random signs

you get one wrong you fail

you then take 20 multiple choice questions

you get 3 wrong you fail.

[Powerslave]

it aint nothin to me man

[hyp]

hyp more like ripe (Image removed from quote.)

you don deed me mayng.  :'(

[TVC15]

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.

[Bloodwake]

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.

[Phoenix Dark]

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

[demi]

I didn't get asked any insurance questions... I did get asked how many people can ride in the back of a truck though.

[CajoleJuice]

Who the fuck studies for this shit?

Oh, those questions are pretty awful, TVC. Nevermind.

[Bloodwake]

I didn't get asked any insurance questions... I did get asked how many people can ride in the back of a truck though.

Haha, wow, that wasn't even on the Kentucky test, and that's like a fucking statewide past time.

[TVC15]

I didn't get asked any insurance questions... I did get asked how many people can ride in the back of a truck though.

What the fuck is the answer to that?

[Van Cruncheon]

i failed wa's test 3 times back in hs

got it on my fourth

because i didn't study. like tvc said, they ask some stupid fucking jackoff questions, like "a car is in your lane coming down a hill and there is a rockslide, what do you do" with 4 almost identical options but only one is correct

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

[Van Cruncheon]

I didn't get asked any insurance questions... I did get asked how many people can ride in the back of a truck though.

What the fuck is the answer to that?

in wa? 0.

[Tauntaun]

I didn't get asked any insurance questions... I did get asked how many people can ride in the back of a truck though.

Only Mexicans know the answer to that one.

Rman I didn't know you was in the Bronx we should totally lynch meet up with Beezy.

[demi]

What the fuck is the answer to that?

I forget. I guessed it. I think I got it wrong.

[TVC15]

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!

[Phoenix Dark]

on the flip side they can't ride in the passenger seat in some states

[Mr. Gundam]

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.

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.

[Beezy]

Oh snap, EB has two Bronx members.

[Smooth Groove]

TVC, do you also have to take the driving test again?

[Tauntaun]

Oh snap, EB has two Bronx members.

:rapetime  You ever been with a white man?

[Beezy]

By "with" you mean...?

[Tauntaun]

By "with" you mean...?

Do you hate carrots?  /Chappelle

Edit:  I think I'm warming you up, you're not as adamant about not being "with" me. 

[Beezy]

u confuse me

[Powerslave]

hyp more like ripe (Image removed from quote.)

you don deed me mayng.  :'(

one day I will get to your age and then I will regret these clever rhymes :'(

[Tauntaun]

u confuse me

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.

[Beezy]

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

You're an idiot.

[Tauntaun]

Seriously like Chappelle's show should come back I could write for it.    Anywho, I haven't hollered at you in a while Beezy, how you been man?

[TVC15]

TVC, do you also have to take the driving test again?

Yes I do.

[max_cool]

HA! my license doesn't expire until I'm 65. I Arizona.

If you had an AZ license you wouldn't be in this problem.

[xnikki118x]

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.

[Van Cruncheon]

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

[xnikki118x]

Prole

[max_cool]

The latter.

[Robo]

I nearly ran down some kids while driving past a stopped school bus in the opposite lane many years ago. 

The Maryland driver's license program is very lenient. 

[Bloodwake]

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.
