elided description of draconian Aussie driving restrictions
In the US, after taking a written test that includes such questions as:
1. You are approaching an intersection and want to make a left turn, do you:
a. Wait until the last possible moment before moving from the right hand lane across the traffic in the left hand lane in order to get into the left turn lane, then come to a sudden stop with the rear end of you car protruding into the laft hand lane?
b. Insure that your left turn signal is off, slow to 5 mph 100 feet before entering the left turn lane, and change your mind at the last moment?
c. Turn right, enter the first driveway in which you can reverse into oncoming traffic and return to the intersection thereby avoiding the left turn altogether?
2. What does a yellow light mean at an intersection?
That Million Dollar Baby BakeOff WinnerIn progress for dinner tonight. I'm making a double recipe because I'm hoping to have to feed my 'puter networking consultant for his trouble. The recipe is written for...
a. Speed up, the light is about to change.
b. You have time to make a cell phone call.
c. All cars except yours must stop.
d. All of the above.
If you pbutt the test by answering appoximately 60% of the questions "correctly", then you may take the driving skills test.
If you can start the car, drive a few blocks without crashing through a wall or killing a pedestrian, you will be required to attempt to parallel park. If you are able to do that without demolishing a parking meter or parking inside a store front, you will be issued a driver's license.
