Test: Are you a good driver

I think I was once married to the idiot that made up this exam.

Nevermind. I changed answers by trial and error (maybe the same way the rest of you did).

(The following links are from the online version of the Ohio Revised Code.)

Flashing red at intersection = "yield" - I say 'Bullshit'.

http://onlinedocs.andersonpublishin...templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0#JD_451115

? 4511.15. Flashing traffic signals.

Whenever an illuminated flashing red or yellow traffic signal is used in a traffic signal or with a traffic sign it shall require obedience as follows:
(A) Flashing red stop signal: Operators of vehicles, trackless trolleys, and streetcars shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering it, and the right to proceed shall be subject to the rules applicable after making a stop at a stop sign.
(B) Flashing yellow caution signal: Operators of vehicles, trackless trolleys, and streetcars may proceed through the intersection or past such signal only with caution.
This section shall not apply at railroad grade crossings. Conduct of drivers of vehicles, trackless trolleys, and streetcars approaching railroad grade crossings shall be governed by sections 4511.61 and 4511.62 of the Revised Code.

Peds "always" have right of way - I say 'Bullshit'
http://onlinedocs.andersonpublishin...templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0#JD_451146

? 4511.46. Pedestrian on crosswalk has right-of-way.

(A) When traffic control signals are not in place, not in operation, or are not clearly assigning the right-of-way, the driver of a vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar shall yield the right of way, slowing down or stopping if need be to so yield or if required by section 4511.132 of the Revised Code, to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger.
(B) No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.
(C) Division (A) of this section does not apply under the conditions stated in division (B) of section 4511.48 of the Revised Code.
(D) Whenever any vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway, the driver of any other vehicle, trackless trolley, or streetcar approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass the stopped vehicle.

Also: http://onlinedocs.andersonpublishin...templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0#JD_451148

? 4511.48. Right of way yielded by pedestrian.

(A) Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right of way to all vehicles, trackless trolleys, or streetcars upon the roadway.
(B) Any pedestrian crossing a roadway at a point where a pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided shall yield the right of way to all traffic upon the roadway.
(C) Between adjacent intersections at which traffic control signals are in operation, pedestrians shall not cross at any place except in a marked crosswalk.
(D) No pedestrian shall cross a roadway intersection diagonally unless authorized by official traffic control devices; and, when authorized to cross diagonally, pedestrians shall cross only in accordance with the official traffic control devices pertaining to such crossing movements.
(E) This section does not relieve the operator of a vehicle, streetcar, or trackless trolley from exercising due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian upon any roadway.

The one drink question has already been addressed. I couldn't agree more.

# of car lengths to leave a safe gap at 40 mph (59 ft/s):

http://onlinedocs.andersonpublishin...templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0#JD_451134

The law states that a safe distance should be provided according to conditions. Per the two second rule of thumb (taught by Dad and observed by most non-morons), this results in a clear distance of 118 ft. at 40 mph. The answer is 8 car lengths, not 4. Most cars are longer than 10' (unless you live in blonde land where the quiz creator drives around in her malibu barbie dream car).
For a frame of reference, a typical parking space is 20' long.

Blocking an intersection:

http://onlinedocs.andersonpublishin...templates&fn=document-frame.htm&2.0#JD_451113

This is an ambiguous question. Common courtesy dictates that one doesn't enter an intersection if congestion prohibits making it all the way through. Otherwise, you can enter an intersection on green. If the signal indication changes while you are waiting to turn left, you must clear the intersection when it is safe to do so.

Someone should bitch-slap the blonde that put this dumbass quiz together. No wonder so many people don't have a clue as to the traffic rules when BS such as this is put out as "fact".

Grr. At least I have my Christmas presents wrapped so I have time to vent about goofy shit like this. :)

Dude...you must be pretty pissed at that exam to look up some boring ass DMV laws.....:biggrin:

Pissed? Nah. I'm outraged! ...J/K

IMO, a good score would be 5/10 to 7/10. A perfect score means at least 4 questions were not correct.

As for boring DMV laws, 'boring' is in the mind of the beholder. Some people do 'boring' shit for a living and love it!

BTW - If someone has a smiley for "hot button issue," you are more than welcome to tag me with it. :nerd:

Merry Christmas everyone!
