Driving Test

I've booked the first part of my test, for next Tuesday at 10am. It's a written test, and you have to get at least 30 answers right out of 36. There are some example questions here. Some of them are staggeringly easy. Here's my favourite:

5. You are driving on a freeway posted for 65 MPH. The traffic is traveling at 70 MPH. You may legally drive:

75 MPH or less.
70 MPH or less.
65 MPH or less.

(The answer is 65 mph or less.)

Another good one:

10. You must obey instructions from school crossing guards:

At all times.
Only during school hours.
Unless you do not see any children present.
(Yep, it's A.)

Some of them you would never know if you hadn't read the book:

2. You are approaching a railroad crossing with no warning devices and are unable to see 400 feet down the tracks in one direction. The speed limit is:

15 mph
20 mph
25 mph
(You'll have to read the book to find out. I haven't yet. It's got a nice picture of Arnie at the front of it.)
