I was thinking... If everyone who owns a car was required to take a driving test right now, what do you think the failure percentage would be? I imagine it would vary from country to country, but I suspect in the U.S. it would be well north of fifty percent...

@CheetahObscura oh, I agree, I consider myself a fairly careful driver, but I'd probably fail a driving test if I took one right now too.

@CheetahObscura Admittedly, I'd fail too quickly given how I am right now

@CheetahObscura We really should require retesting every ten years, myself included.

@CheetahObscura Parallel parking for the loss! Along with poor turn signal use. I could see 50+ percent

@CheetahObscura A good chunk of my area would fail, especially near and in Southwest Louisiana - and this is EXCLUDING overspeed offenses and parallel parking proficiency exams. They find ROUNDABOUTS confusing.
