I'm 40 and just got my first learners permit to drive - dumb test [View All]

[mondo joe]

Well I'm 40 so it's about time.

I expected to breeze through the learner's permit test. But I got 5 questions wrong very early on, and you can ONLY get 5 wrong and pass.

4 of the 5 questions I got wrong really pissed me off because they were about drunk driving and I'm never even a drunk PASSENGER. I just didn't think about that aspect of driving because I wouldn't do it.

And I'm further pissed because those questions were so dumb.

One was what is the legal blood alcohol level for driving -- as if knowing that can help me be a better driver.

Another was about the legal penalty for drunk driving - which is NOT a matter of safe driving either.

Clearly the anti-drunk driving forces have to be appeased.

Bah!
