AA research suggests the majority of drivers wouldn’t score more than 70 percent in a basic road rules test. The shocking figures have prompted the association to call for optional knowledge refreshers when licences are renewed.
AA research and road safety manager Dylan Thomsen told Checkpoint it was “quite concerning” that not a single person was able to get all 24 questions in the test correct.
To gain a learners licence a theory test must be passed with 90 percent accuracy.
Thomsen said of the 535 surveyed drivers, only a handful were able to reach that mark.
Nothing pissed me off more than people in front of me braking to a near stop, starting a turn and ONLY THEN INDICATING. You indicate before you take any action, flipping the peg because your fingers happen to pass it while turning the wheel achieves exactly nothing. It’s supposed to be a signal to other drivers that they should expect a change in your behavior, not a confirmation of what you’re already plainly doing!
