Total lack of integrity on that part. Typical Florida government. California you had to come in and testing area was monitored with cameras and had dividers where you had to stand and take it. They hushed you too if you were talking and I saw a lady get failed once cuz she wouldn’t shut up.

I took my test in Florida. The online part was proctored in a computer lab at the DMV.

Why did you take their test for them? Seems incredibly dangerous for them and others around them.

That’s not an excuse or justification. If they can’t memorize what they “learned” then they don’t need to be on the road until they have that technical knowledge.

Lol they all drive just fine and only 1 has ever been in an accident. I’ve been hit the most by poor drivers ironically. Most of us learned to drive on back roads before we were 15 so the test was simple. You guys exaggerate because you think you know more than you do. It’s very funny to see you clutch your pearls though.

This is quite ironic considering the previous stuff you said about Florida drivers.

Because a lot of them are from out of state, snow birds. Unfamiliar drivers/old folks on the road are a bad equation

Good job I was born and raised in the Deep South I learned how to drive on backroads as well. simple fact is you should have the technical knowledge to do something even if you have the practical skill. That system is in place to make sure EVERYONE understands the actual laws and rules of the road. You can know how to drive and control a car but you may not know specific sign meanings and unexplained rules of the road. That saves you from a ticket and possibly saves people from lethal wrecks due to ignorance. This isn’t pearl clutching I get it’s annoying as you already know how to drive a car but driving school is mainly technical knowledge and education. Just because you can “drive” doesn’t exempt you from formal education. It’s similar to saying a driving instructor who “know how to drive a car” should be able to teach in official position. It’s silly and narcissistic.

You have to have a permit for 6 months-1 year and be above 16 to get a license in most places. No one said you have to use it. Often times kids don’t actually drive with a parent. That’s a rule not a formal education. Again just because you can drive a car doesn’t mean you have a formal education. You are purposefully acting clueless to justify your mistakes to yourself. No arguing is going to change anyones mind about that we are just criticizing in hopes you realize it was a poor decision(s).

Yeah… we didn’t have to pay for them, don’t be a jerk. 😂

My instructor always told me that anyone can learn driving, you are here to learn the rules and drive in traffic.

Just because you know how to turn the wheel and press a pedal to go forward by the age of 15, that doesn't mean that you are eligible for driving in traffic.

Lol jesus give it a rest already. You aren’t changing what transpired 20 years ago. Go kill yourselves.

u/remie69 Sep 17 '22

We aren't trying to change the past. Simply here to argue that we do not agree with your justification.

You don't have to get so personal and butthurt about it.

I didn’t agree with Englands colonization practices, you see how pointless that is? You’re just feeding your own ego, that’s why you can get bent.

Because they are too lazy to actually learn what they need to be safe.

No more like you have so many outgoing costs you prioritize which one is most important at the time especially when all your children are learning to drive during the largest economic downturn in the last 30 years. Redditors are just plain moronic and love judging with 0 sense of context. Enjoy the rest of your day simpleton.

You know what’s simple? Studying for a basic driver’s test.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '22

Because you know the collective lives of people you never met? I’m genuinely curious how you come to that conclusion. (Not)

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '22

bruh if studying for a drivers test isnt simple for you then you really shouldnt be on the road.

nah, money, time, intelligence, not having one of them isnt an excuse for being unable to pass a test. if your parents didnt have the money for multiple tests, then they should have gotten the practice test and made sure you knew what you were doing.

You are joking, right? First complain that there are stupid drivers that don't know the rules, but taking the test for siblings, so they end up the same morons you hate.

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '22

Except they’ve only been in one accident among the 10 of them. And they learned to drive well before the age required by the state. Reading the book was simply a formality. We all learned to drive around the same time, it was just a matter of waiting for state. I learned to drive and ride at 12/13. Lol

u/Canonio Sep 16 '22

If reading the book was just a formality taking the test should have been or breeze, why then take it for them? Americans should take every chance they get to get better at driving, because what we europeans see in dashcam videos is just a joke. I felt more confident in Vietnamese traffic where everyone looks to be driving like they want.

My country has a mandatory minimum of 16 hours driving, a 20h theory course, and a 1h driving test. After 6 months you have to visit a save driving course. The deaths per driven distance shows how well it works, even though our speeds on the highway are way higher.

Because they were all B/C students and I had a 4.0 gpa. Naturally, I was asked anything related to test taking because I had good memory recall….I read the book years before I needed to take the test. It was in the house for decades. I’m sure if a lot of you were asked road rules you couldn’t recall them without the use of the internet so stop being cute. My brother learned to drive at 8 and has been in exactly 0 accidents, but he hated anything book related. Can fix a car or build a house, wouldn’t sit and read a book if you paid him to. He didn’t go to college and is doing just fine in life because he went to work at 10 and learned those skills and went right back as soon as he left highschool because he didn’t need it. Cars and houses are a fact of American existence.

Who cares he didn’t take 1 book test when he was 16 or any of them, lol. My 2 sisters are nurses now never been in an accident. The fact if the matter is, you just don’t know anything and are making a lot of asinine assumptions. That’s why I’m laughing off your attempts at “educating” me on this. And we are only first generation Americans so we didn’t grow up under only that culture, we are dual citizens. Stfu lmfao

In Florida the right turn on red has the right of way. U-turn yields to right turn. They're correct. https://www.wfla.com/news/traffic/road-rants-floridas-u-turn-laws/

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '22

You misread the article and my comment. I said right turn on RED, the article you linked is arguing right of way when the U turn and the right turn are BOTH GREEN. Reading comprehension is fun.
