Blah blah ba blah blah blah. That's all I gotta say about that test. Nothing new. All I know is I'm a good driver and I've got the record, tests, and passengers to prove it. I've also been blessed with fast reactions making me that much safer. What they need to do is build a simulator where people are subjected to various scenarios at real time and score them on the way they handle the situation. THAT alone could be enough to scare enough drivers into learning the rules because as it sits passing the written test is too easy. We've got too many dip ****s driving around.
Anybody else think a simulator would be a good use of tax payers money? It's worked for the military pilots that fly billion dollar equipment. NASA believes in them too so... BTW, they've been using simulators for how many years now? The only problem I see with young drivers is the consiquences of driving cars fast and crashing them. They don't see what really happens. Video games you just press restart or the games automatically flip your car back over and off you go... that's not helping.
Those tests should definatly post the demographics. I've found the safest drivers are those that live in less stressful area's of the state. Lower traffic and straighter roads.
