95% I missed one:

7. When waiting to make a left turn, you should give the right-of-way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction: (Select one)

a. Until at least two vehicles have passed

b. Until dangerously close cars have passed

c. Until all of the cars have passed

I chose B and the answer is C but I think that's kind of a trick question. I mean if there are cars coming that are a mile down the road I damn sure am not going to wait for them to pass. I wait until it is safe to turn but I don't wait for the cars that are way down the road.

 

I failed

thats like the 3rd driving test I failed in 4 years!

 

... and yet nobody is surprised.

90% here. I think the first question is BS... if you pull off the pavement you can't change your tire since the jack will sink into the ground. Lot of good that does! Where is the 'pull onto shoulder if available, if none then off pavement' option?! I'm parking my **** in the right lane if I don't have a shoulder to change my tire on!

 

Not a one....and I agree I don't know about setting in the lane but jacking a vehicle in dirt is dang near impossible

 

I scored 100.

Anyone who has been a driver and/or passenger in this country for more than 5 years should know all of these.

 

Try the mud.
My daughter's 4Runner had a left front blowout while making a left turn a week ago.
It swung her 180 degrees and planted in the median.
She calls me on the cell crying that 'she had an accident'.
You can imagine what went thru my mind.
No injuries, no other cars involved, no police on scene.
I was in the BMW and my truck has all the 'emergency' equipment.
I rush there in my dress clothes, Friday night and raining.
The bottle jack from the Toyota goes into grass one inch for every two inches I crank it up.

Fully extended I can get the flat off but the spare won't go on.
I'm on my hands and knees digging a 'pit' in the mud with a plastic tray.
I get the spare on, 'in the dark' and tighten the lug nuts for all I'm worth.

She can't drive a stick so, I follow her home in the BMW.
When we arrive she says the Toyota is 'vibrating' and making noise.
It's dark, I'm filthy but I drive it around the block and sure enough something underneath must be broken.

Next morning, I go check it out and find four of six lug nuts loose, two of them are backed half off.

The tire must have been angled when I put the lugs on.

I cut a 2x10 a foot in length and put it in the vehicle.
It will give the jack another 1.5 inches and a big footprint.

 

Good idea...something you never think of doing until you are digging out a muddy trench with a plastic pan in the rain, at night, in dress clothes with F-150 guys driving by saying...."Would you look at that BMW prissy...an F150 owner wouldn't be caught doing something like that... "

Ain't being a Dad great....mine are only 7 & 4 but I realize it's a job that just doesn't end...

When my girl is thirty-something and I hear "Daddy!?!?..." I'll just know I'm going to have an interesting day.

 

85%, but they were wrong, i am right. I will turn when it is clear, not when all cars are passed.

 

I agree 100% about the boards.

I have a couple of 2X6's about a foot long each in my tool box.

..and heck yeah, being a dad rules. I cant wait for Brooklyn to get here.

 

Ummmm, wouldn't that be the same thing you dolt?

 

Actually, I tossed a piece of 2x12 in the back of my truck after the first time I saw my jack.
It's been back there for seven years, it's weathered grey and has curled quite a bit after seven winters.

My daughter has been what I'd call an overconfident driver for her two years behind the wheel.

That Friday night spin humbled her a bit.
It lasted about three days.

Come to think of it, it was three days that the nasty, rusty spare was on.
She works at a carwash and keeps her 4runner pristine.
You'd never know that car and her room were associated with the same person.

 

Clean car for the boys, be scared when the room is clean.

 

Actually she works at a full service carwash so she cleans about 60 cars a week and hers gets the Deluxe treatment every Sunday for free.

Last week she started doing oil changes.

If those poor customers only knew...
