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.
People don’t know how to indicate when using a roundabout…every day, I see weird behavior.
I would rather see no indication rather than incorrect indication.
Ah yes, the classic “indicate right while exiting left” trick
I reckon roundabouts must be one of the main areas where people aren’t just unaware, but actually confidently incorrect. I’ve had plenty of conversations about roundabout rules and no one is more confident than those that are wrong.
