the test

We studied for the driving test using a booklet that contained 1315 potential test questions. The exam was a computer generated randomly chosen selection of 100 of those questions. Answer 90 or more correctly and you pass.

The questions covered every conceivable driving related topic (insurance regulations, traffic fines, road signs, general car maintenance, etc) and ranged from "incredibly obvious" to "impossible to understand".

I flipped through the study booklet and picked out a few samples. I copied them exactly as they appear in the booklet. Answers at the bottom of the post.

I'm not sure I would feel safe driving on the roads, knowing that that was the required driving test. But, I would certainly feel safe knowing that they were all trained in the correct way to eject "safely" from the car.
