11/12. That last one was a bit tricky. I just wish my kids thought my driving was as great as my memory. Apparently I drive like a grandma though our last trip I towed the caravan on a gravel road for the first time at the prompting of my husband so I am prepared in case of any emergency.

10/12

 

Got the first one wrong.   Didn't notice the solid line.     And the truck one.   Don't care.  I can see him and I give them a wide birth.  Would never consider passing one.

Got the motor cycle question wrong.
I didnt have a clue actually
I have a full bike licence but based on todays traffic and general driving skills of the motorists I would never consider riding between two cars no matter what the rules.

That is not a bad idea to have a quiz like that for the motoring public..well done Qld and ABC.

Q7 is incorrect for Victoria. This rule was changed about 2 years ago. This is the problem with our road rules. Not everything is universal!

9 out of twelve but I think the answer they give to Q6 is wrong in Victoria. My doctors surgery had a warning put on their notice board after a solid white line was painted down the center of the road outside the surgery and the police started booking people for doing a right hand turn into their driveway.

Gday...

It is not unusual to encounter an ill-informed, over-zealous?, police officer. no

It is DEFINITELY legal to cross a single solid white line in the middle of a road to enter or leave the road - ie entering or leaving a driveway.

no NAH Landy ... given what you knew (were advised) from either the doctor's surgery notice board which was incorrect/misinformed ... or the booking of driver's was an ill-informed or over-zealous police officer. Perhaps it was even a patient to the doctor's surgery that was booked, but did not understand just what the police officer wrote up the ticket for.

I can cite many instances where one of the revered constabulary has not fully understood a new rule - or misunderstood a road rule. They are, after all, only human. hmm

cheers - John

8/12. Not happy Jan. We only have 1 double lane round about here so must check the arrows next time I go through it. I knew our motorcycle rules changed a while back but didn't know the new rule well enough and got the truck one wrong, thought they'd be able to see the yellow car and I got the merging one wrong. I have done the test questions a few times so thought I'd do better.

11 out of 12 got the last one wrong.

Not enough fingers and toes to count how many times I've been abused by people that don't know how to use a roundabout.

Disagree with question 2, every truck  of all sizes I have driven in the last 20 odd years have fish eye mirrors fitted on both sides to specifically allow you to see the yellow car,

 Hey Jim,

i got another one wrong as well. 10 / 12

the one with the Stop sign on one side and the Give Way sign on the other had me stumped.

I must say in all my driving I cannot remember an intersection with this sign arrangement...hahaha maybe only in Qld.

I dont ride anymore Jim, but if I did I still would not ride between cars....I refer to them as "Temporary Australians"
