The "written" test here in Utah was also a picture test, but nothing so
nasty as that.
Picture of a yield sign. Question: "What should you do when you see
this sign?" Answers: a) look to see if there's traffic approaching and
proceed with caution. b) come to a full stop and look both ways. c)
accelerate through the intersection. d) close your eyes and pray as you
speed up.
It amazes me that anyone *fails* this exam, yet people do. And they
still are granted a license after they pass it, no matter how many times
they've failed it.
Not in Utah, but there's a 80-ish year old guy in Florida who has taken
his written drivers' license exam some 70+ times and he could still be
licensed to drive if he passed it.
