The three questions I got wrong on my driver’s license written exam were, roughly as follows (with the “correct” answer in bold):
1. When is it safe to merge back into traffic after passing?
- Only when you are three car-lengths ahead of the passed vehicle
- When you see the passed car’s headlights in your rear view mirror
- As soon as you pass the bumper
2. When should you have your headlights turned on?
- Between the time of one hour before sunset to one hour after sunrise
- When it improves your ability to see and other’s ability to see you
- When you can’t see up to 200 feet in front of you
3. At a four way stop sign, you should yield the right of way to:
- The person who got there first
- The person on your right
- The person on your left
I’d be pretty angry about #1 and #2 if I had failed, but I didn’t, so.. whatever. Just make sure you’re not the driving the car I pass.
