Thanks.

Russia: 20 single choice questions, 18 correct answers required.

UK: 50 multiple choice questions, 43 correct answers required. Then "hazard perception test", 14 videos of driving in which it's necessary to click on mouse when a hazard is emerging (like some ****er cutting in front).

Man the UK seems easy - in New South Wales (state in Australia) you can only get 1 incorrect answer before failing (out of 20 multiple choice questions)

US: I think I remember my driving test being 16/20 questions to pass. Then a drive around totaling in the area of ~1mile/1.6km then return to the testing area to parallel park in a coned area almost twice the length of the vehicle I was driving. I was ready for some crazy **** I'd seen in movies. I think the entire process took around an hour.

Australia has a really complicated drivers license process - you have to be 16 to take a written test to get learner plates which allow you to drive under adult supervision - then after a year you're allowed to take an actual driving test which gets you on to a red provisional license... After a year of that you take another test to go to green provisional license.... Then after two years of that you get your "full drivers license" which allows you to actually have one or two beers and still drive...

Damn! When I took my test it was at 16 and boom, full fledged drivers license. Also, in my state, Arizona, they don't expire for like 60 years. I think now at 16 its the supervised learner permit during daytime only, then 17 its day and night supervised, then 18 you get the full solo license. (Just double checked, it's valid until age 65) My dad hasn't changed his license since 1981, when they moved into the house they're still at. He has this old laminated license and he refuses to do anything about it until it expires, haha.

Also... Congrats, iri!

Damn that expiration time is awesome

In Russia I got all 20 questions correct in like 3 minutes. It was really easy -- our traffic inspection site has all the questions, organized very conveniently, with immediate feedback and explanations. I just mirrored it and used my laptop to prepare when in public transport.

Oh dear, how can you even fail that?

Also, in my state, Arizona, they don't expire for like 60 years.

Oh ****e! Do nearly nothing to pass and then drive until you die!

Also... Congrats, iri!

There in France they never expire, which is very very dumb.
So many seniors doing U-turns on the highway.

On topic: Licenses should expire every decade or something. If my mom had to take a test again I'm sure she'd fail. I hate when she drives and often offer to just drive instead.

Went to the doctor. Might have strep throat, but I have to wait for lab results Friday before i start treatment, and until then I'm stuck wil a horribly sore throat.

Totally agree, it should expire even if I'd hate to repass it.

For exemple in France they added roundabouts everywhere in the last 20years, my parents and people older didn't learned to drive with them, so they slow down the traffic by not using them correctly, it infuriates me.

As an American I don't fully understand roundabouts in practice. Especially multi lane ones. I get how they work but they slow me down because I only use them maybe 1-4 times a year.

pretty much sum it up.
if you go beyong half of it you move in the center and get on the side right before you want to exit, otherwise you stay on the side.

There are quite a few roundabouts in New England. Proves again that it's the least bad best part of the USA.

That's really helpful but in America nothing like that will ever function.

Roundabouts = no rules

There are a few in neighborhoods by me and every once in a while someone will go the wrong way. It's the "why go all the way around when I can just turn left" mentality.

[iri]

Such signs help people understand that they should not just turn left.

They're not designed to keep pace with "intersections" they're supposed to keep a steady flow of traffic, but their secondary "ideal" is that the massively reduce the number of T-bone incidents which happen, hence roundabouts are much safer.

But round abouts do move more traffic than a 4 way light or 4 way stop sign.

I would say it's very good news. In the company I work for, the recruiters and the HR department are completely separate entities.

I don't want to get your hopes up, but it sounds good to me.

The 1/4" layer would have similar cutouts, but with like 14x16 MM holes so the switches still clip in, but the plate is supported underneath?
