Sep. 24th, 2009 12:00 pmOut of curiosity, I took the UK Driving Standards Agency online practice theory test. I did pretty well--40 out of 50 right. That's still a failing grade if one were taking the test for real, but I felt it was still not too bad since I hadn't studied the Highway Code, the signs guide, or any of the test materials (the DSA publishes a study guide, a DVD game, and a compendium of all the questions with explanations of all of the answers--the Highway Code is also available online).
I was struck by how many questions dealt with first aid in the case of accidents. It's been a while since I've taken a driving test in the US, but I've *never* seen any US driving pubs that contained information on first aid. I was also pleased by the number of questions that could be answered by the simple application of common sense.
