I failed the written (knowledge) test yesterday.

So I haven't held a valid driver's license here in the U.S. since my last one expired in 2012. To acquire another license I must take the written test, as well as the road test, all over again. Yesterday I went to the DMV to take the written test, and I failed by four points.

A lot of the questions were bullsh*t, and had nothing to do with safely operating a vehicle. A lot of them had to do with the penalties for being caught while driving under the influence.

Here are a couple examples:

"If you're over the age of 21 and are charged with a DUI for the first time how much will you be fined, and for how long will you lose your license?"

"If you're charged with driving under the influence for more than three times in three years how long will you be required to have a personal breathalyzer fitted to your vehicle?"

This really pissed me off. I haven't lived in this country for years, and am not familiar with it's stupid f*cking laws concerning DUIs. And even if I was, would it matter? Would it make any difference? Now I'm either gonna break the law or I'm not. Knowing the penalties for being caught doing so isn't gonna have any bearing on how anyone conducts themselves on the road. I don't even drink.

Anyways, I gotta wait a whole week before I can take this stupid test again. They gave me some bullsh*t manual to study, but luckily it turns out I can just directly get the f*cking answers verbatim off of youtube. Thanks Youtube.

It's give and take here in America. We got things like youtube and google to help us get through bullsh*t like this. However, in this instance, I prefer China's method of dealing with this kind of thing. "Here you go instructor. Here's $100 to say I took your stupid f*cking test, and got all the answers right. Thanks for the license."

Is it true that if you get run over in China and survive they will reverse over you to finish off the job?

Just use some flashcards to memorize it for next time, thats what it is mostly not common sense, like asking if you slow down 450 or 500 feet before a crosswalk they just want you to follow and read the state manuscript

That's very true. Especially out in the countryside. It's because the driver will end up paying less money for causing your death than they would if they were to badly injure you. If they injured you they'd have to continue paying your medical expenses for the rest of your life.

Though it's getting to be less prevalent nowdays, because of all the cameras they got. If you were to get injured by a car 5 years ago out in the countryside you'd be absolutely f*cked, if nobody was there to witness it.
