17 may not be an important age in most places, but it is in New Jersey. You can get your driving permit!
I went to take my test today. Well, maybe I should start before that. About 2 months ago, I started asking people to pick up a driving manual for me. About 2 days ago, someone actually did. I took an online practice test, and didn't do very well. Then I actually read the manual and took it again, and got 100%. Now, every one told me I shouldn't confuse myself by studying the manual, because they only asked you common sense questions, not things about fines and penalties. So I didn't.
I went this morning to take the test. You are allowed to get 10 questions wrong and still pass, and I got all 10 wrong. That sounds pretty bad, so let me tell you why.
1. The test is now on a touch screen computer. The ENTER and SKIP buttons are touching each other. For the very first question, (a very simple one)I hit SKIP by accident.
2. Every one told me not to memorize fines, I didn't memorize fines. 4 of the questions I missed were fines.
3. The driver's manual I got this week said you can't drive between 12 and 5 am. The test said 11 pm.
4. I guess I must have misread the question, but I could have sworn it asked me what the hand sign for a right turn was, and it said the answer was not hand up in the air.
So you see, it really wasn't my fault that I got 10 wrong, I really only should have gotten 6 or 7...
It's everyone else's fault...!!

I remember getting that same "tip", and at least 10 of the questions were specific numbers like fines or years in prison, etc. Common sense sometimes has very little to do with it, and the questions that seem most common sense are sometimes the trick questions. Well, now you know who not to ask, including, it would seem, the DMV.
ReplyDeleteSo what will you drive?
I'll probably go "half-'n-half" with (my brother) Mark on his Volkswagen.
ReplyDeleteAfter hearing enough horrors stories about cars, I decided having your own is highly over-rated. A horse is a much more worthy way of spending money, to my way of thinking!
Here, Here! or is it Hear, Hear! ?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you waiting for? You could keep one parked outside with all the cars.
