Only 20 Percent Of Drivers On The Road Can Pass This Safety Test

Tyres should be pointed towards the kerb when facing uphill. The photo shows this but the answer is wrong!

8/12 but clearly, because the poster is using imperial measurements, these questions refer to the United States. In the UK, when passing a bicycle, we are expected to give at least 1.5M which is 4.9 feet, and as this wasn't an option I chose 4ft which was wrong. 3ft in the USA is 0.94M which is way too close!

8 / 12 You passed. Be proud. You are one of the safest drivers on the road. Not bad considering that this test is based on American rules of the road! I am English.

9/12 "You passed. You should be proud. You're one of the safest drivers on the road." Well, I don't know about that. I just know some of the safety laws. Although I've never been in a serious accident caused by MY driving!

Dogs should be on the back seat and secured so as not to distract the driver.

7 / 12. I would have got more if the questions were British based!

Some these questions are only applicable in the USA (such as which lane has right of way when merging), and in Australia, we discuss car lengths as safe distance measurements, not feet. Also, dogs in the front passenger seat? Only if you are in a vehicle that has NO back seat.

I got 7 out of 12 but I have to take 8 because I did know the answer of one that I got incorrect just because my mouse acted up, lol.

Some of these I disagree with. Our dog is harnessed and the harness is buckled into the back seat. Why would you put a dog in the front seat?! A distraction and also the poor animal could be projected right through the window in an accident. Lanes merging? Only in your dreams do people nicely always merge one by one. Lastly bicycles…huge controversy where I live with bike lanes popping up everywhere. I have a simple solution: I stay as far away as possible. Bicyclists are notorious for ignoring stop signs and traffic lights, so even with their own lanes I avoid them. This test is a sham for the most part because so much of the questions are about judgement and let’s face it. There’s bad judgment out there a lot of time!

Why is up front safer for a dog? I strongly disagree! My dog always goes in the back!

Obviously for American drivers only. Here in NZ we are the same as UK. Dogs should be in the back seat! No freeways in NZ and motorways and expressways have different rules about pulling over - or not. Texting while driving will earn you a fine here, it is illegal. When two lanes merge we say merge like a zip although you'll always get one who refuses to give way and another who dithers and slows right down.
