Haha reminds me of some of the questions in the UK written test ~10 years 
ago (maybe it's harder now?)

Q: You come up behind a slower vehicle, what should you do:
1: Drive as close as possible behind so you can overtake quickly
2: Press the horn to try and make them speed up
3: Keep a safe distance behind
4: Flash your lights

Although there were ones where you had to remember the colours of all the 
cats-eyes (I didn't even notice there were different coloured ones on the 
motorway until this!), stopping distances from various speeds etc.  For a 
geek like me I just calculated and memorised what acceleration value they 
were assuming for wet/dry roads :-)  You only needed to score 30/35 to pass, 
most of the answers were just plain common sense - or rather, you had to 
think what would some really sensible driver do in this situation :-).
