[CP.AR]

if you go around a curve too quickly, inertia may cause your car to

F) DOORIIIFFFFTTOOOOOOOOO :troll:

Wohooo 24/25. Did u guys get the traffic circle question wrong?

I swear you are supposed to maintain your speed if you see someone on the side of the road and about to jaywalk.

[em1.ac]

21/25
First one was BS.

[Bouncing Bettys]

25/25 only because I went against my better judgement on the first question after reading the comments

I swear you are supposed to maintain your speed if you see someone on the side of the road and about to jaywalk.

I was taught that as well. You shouldn't encourage j-walking by slowing down.

[tiger_handheld]

23/35 I got the first one wrong and the round about one.

[LSF22]

24/25

Got traffic circle one wrong. lol I've never seen a multi-lane roundabout in Vancouver.
Also, the roadsense book I used to pass my L (2004) never talked about it. Only the newer editions had an extra section on multi-laned roundabouts so yeah not my fault.

[InvisibleSoul]

23.

Roundabout question got me too... and the one about moving after an accident.

[Liquid_o2]

24/25

Most were really simple and common sense. A few tricky ones though.

[teekaywok]

24/25, first one screwed me over :(

There's one at the intersection of 16th Ave and Wesbrook Mall at UBC. :p

[CP.AR]

^ you have no idea how many "almost accidents" i've seen as a result of the mix of students who pass by there everytime, and first time users coming onto campus.

It's a stupid design and I don't understand what they couldn't have stuck with the intersection

[shenmecar]

20/25

I really like that question that asks what should you do when someone else wants to cut lanes. DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO STOP THEM.

[Gumby]

Don't get me started on the various stupid things they've done to limit/hinder car traffic to UBC...

17/25. sleepy and didn't feel like reading is my excuse.:troll:
but the one about the pedestrians walking on the road without a sidewalk... how are they supposed to walk facing traffic? shuffling sideways isn't really a natural way to walk.

[LSF22]

passengers arent allowed to watch movies in a moving car?

haha wtf

Wohooo 24/25. Did u guys get the traffic circle question wrong?

24/25 as well.

traffic circle i got right, it was the first one i got wrong hahaha.

That makes sense actually.
If you walk on the right side (in the same direction as traffic) cars will be coming up behind you and it can be dangerous as you can't see them and they don't know that you are aware of them.

If you walk on the left side, facing oncoming traffic, you can see cars approaching and they can see that you're aware of them in case they need to pull over or turn into a driveway for example.

No, they are not saying you should walk sideways facing the centre of the road :lol

[Alatar]

Your score: 25/25

You did better than 96 per cent of those who took it today.

Only one I wasn't 100% sure on was the first, but I went with what the officer tells you to do, rather than stopping first.

[EvoFire]

24/25

The one about the television got me cause so many cars have rear seat entertainment systems.

[optiblue]

24/25 I read too fast for the passengers watch TV question... It is allowed, Philosophy 120 all over again :fuuuuu:

[Alatar]

Um. It asks WHICH OF THESE STATEMENTS IS FALSE.

Passengers ARE allowed to watch TV in a moving vehicle. It's the driver who isn't. All of you who got that wrong just fail at reading comprehension.

[snowball]

[firebird79_00]

Thats bull, Passengers in a moving vehicle are prohibted from watcing t.v......

Then how come some cars come stock with sceens built in to the seats or console..

I dunno test is stupid, thats reading it out of the book as is....not how it really is on the street.

[J____]

booo 18/25

i'm still a good driver though :D

[monkeywrench]

24/25. Got that stupid question about the passengers being not allowed to watch television? wtf?

[d1]

that's not stupid, you read the question wrong.

I got 23/25, first one and the roundabout question got me.

[zulutango]

#8 is not correct for BC...there is no prohibition for wearing headphones here.

21/25. stupid first question and the traffic circle one. I found some of the wrong answers quite amusing tho.

[roflwaffle604]

17/25 FAIL!

:D
Their wording is shit. Even though that makes sense, facing the centre of the road and traffic moving away from you are both still "facing" traffic.

[Stealthy]

22/25 :(
Fuck that pedestrian question!

[Splmash]

23/25

Pedestrian facing traffic... really...

[Ch28]

23/25

The police one kinda threw me off for some reason

[jackal]

i have beef with nymber 1 as well. if a police officer is asking you to do something that would otherwise be considered illegal and you somehow get into an accident because of it will the officer take the blame? i doubt it.

23/25 i missread a question to.

the survey is simple. if your getting 20 or lower you need to spend some time reading the drivers manual. it will make everyones commute better.

[jackal]

23/25

Pedestrian facing traffic... really...

i would like to see the morron swerving drunk all over the road instead of not getting blind sided, thank you very much. common sense

[k3mps]

22/25
got the pedestrian / tv / #1 wrong -.-

[NiceGirl]

20/25

That question where it asked, 'if another car is trying overtake and pass your vehicle,' i wonder how many people answered "do everything in your power to stop them" hahaha

[winson604]

I'm not gonna lie, I got 19 :failed:

[MindBomber]

passengers arent allowed to watch movies in a moving car?

haha wtf

You did better on this quiz than 49 per cent of those who took it today.
:okay:
Damn, 1st question, round about question and the reading comprehension fail on passenger + Tv

[hk20000]

For the TV one the catch is how they worded the damn question:

"Which of the following is FALSE"

therefore

"It is illegal for passengers to watch TV in a moving vehicle"

is FALSE.

Therefore that's the correct answer.:fulloffuck:

25/25 bitches!

[Gumby]

I found some of the wrong answers quite amusing tho.
Haha totally... like this answer:

That question where it asked, 'if another car is trying overtake and pass your vehicle,' i wonder how many people answered "do everything in your power to stop them" hahaha

[minoru_tanaka]

i have beef with nymber 1 as well. if a police officer is asking you to do something that would otherwise be considered illegal and you somehow get into an accident because of it will the officer take the blame? i doubt it.

Blame would be on the other driver cause the cop told you to go.
Keep in mind don't trust the construction workers cause they have no legal authority. If they say go and it's a red, the accident is your fault and you get a ticket for running the red.

I got that one wrong. :speechless:

[mmmk]

22/25 some questions are tricky, but many of them are common sense...

[b0unce. [?]]

23/25

got first one wrong and that question about backing out from a driveway with a sidewalk.
i picked the answer "be prepared to stop, continue if no hazard is identified." maybe i just misunderstood the answer lol

edit: i remember when i took my L test. most of the questions on it were so retarded, nearly all them were situational, it was impossible to get the correct answer without factoring in all 1234653413214658132167874 possibilities that might occur in real life.

"if you see an elderly woman crossing the street jay walking (there's a picture of a woman with 1 foot on the curb and taking a step onto the road) should you:"

a) stop suddenly
b) pull over
c) slow down and waive her by
d) speed up and scare her off

can you guess what the correct answer was?
the answer is in the spoiler

D

i picked C... for obvious reasons

[jello24]

20/25...
Cop and stop sign question, moving and accident, and multi-lane traffic circle got me...

[AlphaKappa]

#8 is not correct for BC...there is no prohibition for wearing headphones here.

ya but using headphones while driving isn't the best option.. you have a radio and cd player

and 23/25 :D

24/25

[Rokmth]

[cliffhanger33]

20/25, i had no idea about the traffic circle one

LOLOL for TV one, I knew it was prohibited coz my new car has a dvd system and I cant friken play a dam movie while driving. Nor can I use my GPS while driving. STUPID. I have to pull over every single time, set the car in park mode, whenever I wna set a new location on my gps.

[spoon.ek9]

24/25 i would have had all 25 if i had listened to my initial judgment on that one question! :/

[dangonay]

3/25. I know how to drive and don't need some fucking test to tell me.

[MWR34]

24/25, never been in an accident...

Makes you understand Vancouver drivers a bit better now doesn't it... seeing how most people here can't get a perfect score on common sense shit.

Did you know, if you waived her by during a road test you would fail? This is because you don't know the other road conditions and it may be unsafe for them to cross.

The best course of action during a road test is to slow down and come to a complete stop.

[Mr.C]

25/25. Hooray for traffic circles!

[AzNightmare]

I still don't understand #8...
There's plenty of minivans and suv's with built-in tv's.
It said passenger, not driver. Or is this some kind of trick like a passenger = driver?

I actually don't mind #1 all that much. Only because I would think of it as
if there was a red light and a traffic cop is in the middle instructing you to go,
you would go.

[Oleophobic]

:facepalm::fulloffuck::seriously:

It's been explained many times in this thread already.

the roundabout and TV one got me. cant remember the third

seriously who gives a shit if the passenger is watching tv? do they mean the front seat passenger?

EDIT: fuck my reading comprehension

[Vancouver240sx]

21/25

I got it correct but the Motorcyle stopping faster than a car one annoys me.

rich

[Jegz]

20/25 I shouldnt be driving anymore :okay:

[Leopold Stotch]

25/25, i remember the first question on my own L test and I got it wrong the first time, the question was more like " the road is blocked off and a police officer is telling you to drive onto the sidewalk, what do you do? "

same answer though.

the simple answer is because you're an idiot.

right, i know that. however without knowing the details to the situation and road conditions PLUS the other options were not viable options... waiving her by might be the better choice.

[SumAznGuy]

22/25

I was taught that as well. You shouldn't encourage j-walking by slowing down.

Just looked it up on ICBC's website and it says slow down and prepare to stop if they do walk out, but do not stop on purpose and waive them by.

[snootworks]

Anyone who didn't get 25/25 on this probably shouldn't be driving.

[yameen]

^you're practically saying that everyone who didn't get 100% on the learners shouldn't be driving. don't think so.

[Gumby]

Anyone who didn't get 25/25 on this probably shouldn't be driving.
Just because you get 25/25 on this test doesn't mean you're a good driver either.

Seriously: Who the hell applies ALL of these rules to the T every day anyway? Only a robot could.

Sure, some rules are more important than others, but tell me you've never sped up to prevent someone from moving into your lane.
