Have You Ever Flunked a Driver's Test?

Well, if a test administered by GMAC Insurance is any indication, one in six people cruising our highways and byways -- roughly 36 million licensed drivers -- would flunk their driver's test if they had to take it today. Not only that, but based on the 2007 GMAC Insurance National Drivers Test data the state with the most road-going dummies is New York, while the most knowledgeable ones are out West to Idaho.

Answered Yes, but ONLY ONCE!

Well, twice actually. I tried to take a motorcycle license when I was 16, a sad story.

Then another attempt 9 years later failed cause they made the test much harder, and I just hadn't bothered to get that information.

A month later, after a lot of practising, I came back and made it. I've had it now for 25 years and put thousands of great biking miles behind me.






BTW did you do the math? Yes, I'm fifty.

    I passed it the first time. My dad says that the only reason I passed was becuase the instructor was flirting with me. When he said that, we both looked at each other and hurried to our car just in case the instructor changed his mind.
    lol
    Good times!

    Answered Yes, but ONLY ONCE!

    I had to go back to the DMV a 2nd time a week later, to take my test again... It was raining the first time I did it, and I was told "I cut someone off"... wich was not true, I was tailgated by a speeder, wich made it seem true, but I did nothing wrong, It was raining, and the lady evaluating me was nervous.

    :)
    I FAILED, I can admit that.
