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.
In the article it mentions that the areas people are most often wrong are the areas where there have been rule changes since they got their licence, so refreshers may be the most effective way to improve this score even if it doesn’t help the people that don’t care.
