I heard about this test on a local radio station. They were giving the questions to some of the people who were in the studio. I can’t believe how stupid some people are. And… THEY’RE DRIVING … on the same roads I’m driving on. That’s scary. I didn’t stick around long enough to hear their results, but I know a LOT of their answers were wrong.
I took the test. My results are below.
Results from the National Drivers Test Study
Study: 18 Million Americans May Be Unfit for Roads
Most Knowledgeable Drivers in Oregon,
Least Knowledgeable in Rhode IslandST. LOUIS, MO. (May 26, 2006) – Results from the second annual GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test announced today suggest that licensed Americans lack basic driving knowledge and exhibit alarming behaviors on the road. The study revealed that one in eleven drivers – nearly 18 million people – would fail a state drivers test. Furthermore, the study shows drivers deliberately disregard pedestrians and treat driving as the new “down time,” where they catch up on the day’s activities, diverting their attention from the road.
The startling results come one year after GMAC Insurance first set out to gauge the knowledge of the American driving public, when licensed drivers were administered 20 questions found on a typical DMV written drivers test. The 2006 findings indicate drivers still do not have adequate knowledge of basic rules of the road, and they exhibit bad habits behind the wheel. For the second year in a row, Oregon drivers ranked highest on the test, with an average score of 91 percent (70 percent or higher is required to pass a standard drivers test), and Rhode Island ranked lowest, with an average score of 75 percent.
I took the test. Here are my Results:

A score of 70% or better is considered passing on a state written drivers test. The correct answers are highlighted below.
Damn,. I’m good!
