DMV Rite of Passage

Blogged under Social Commentary by Mr. Sandman on Friday 1 August 2008 at 7:06 am

Most of us, the day we were old enough, raced down to the DMV on our bikes, via foot power, or riding shotgun in our parents’ car, to pick up the booklets we needed to study in order to pass the written exam and start down the path to a driver’s license.

These days, when I drive, I often wonder just how the hell most folks managed to pass the test and were allowed the privilege of a license. My pet peeves include, but are not limited to cellphone use, weaving at high speeds, ignoring the turn signal handle (blinkers, what have you…), and running red lights. Some of you may recall my Driving Commandments post.

Think you are a good driver,  could abide by my commandments, and could pass the DMV written test with flying colors this instant? In that case, I’d like to direct you to this test, courtesy of GMAC (be sure to uncheck the box at the bottom of the test, or you’ll be on some GMAC marketer’s neverending mailing list).

If you’re honest enough, let us know how you did. [In the spirit of disclosure, I got 75%. Never said I was a fantastic driver, heh…]
