In California you only need an 80% on the written test to pass. And if I remember right you can retake it the same day.
To phrase that another way, you can be wrong about 20% of the driving laws and still drive. They should raise the bar.

For example, if you’re at fault you loose a drivers license for life (or perhaps are restricted to operating only motorcycle-class vehicles and lighter). As it stands we have all these rules that drivers forget or ignore. Then when a crash happens, they receive no consequences. I’d rather have people using intuition to driver safer for fear of punishment vs a set of rules that only increases safety in theory (see the unenforced three foot bike passing law).
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoThe fact that you take issue with people being wrong about the law speaks volumes. The test questions tend to be fairly simple, which sign is an octagon, how far before a turn should you signal, at a four way stop what happens, basic operational rules of the road stuff that has little to do with the law. The law questions tend to be stuff about penalties that will rarely if ever have any bearing on you if you drive reasonably. Go check the state's practice test questions if you don't believe me.
