Why Am I Wrong???

I get comments like the following every now and then:

“I clicked on the right button letter c . But you are telling me I am wrong. I don’t understand.”

“my answer was D…but your reply said I was not correct & you didn’t show it in red”.

The explanation?

When you answered the question, you didn’t choose an answer. Meaning, clicking the “radio button” didn’t work.

In a real test you can save or skip a question. So I thought it was a good idea to allow you to do the same in our test without too many buttons or warning messages.

But there will be a better explanation in the future.

How Many Alternatives

804000_blog

June M asks: “Does the DMV ever accept “ALL OF THE ABOVE” as an answer? I didn’t think so. I thought you had 3 choices and only 1 was acceptable.”

Even if tests differ between the states, it is absolutely true that questions with only three alternatives are most common.

We are slowly adopting that practise as well.

But remember, even if we try to have as many real questions as possible, this is still just a site where you can practise your knowledge for free. Nothing else.

The point of having “all of the above” and “none of the above” as alternatives, is that people sometimes answer just a little bit too fast. We want you to get into the habit of reading the whole question and all of the alternatives, before answering.

That way you increase your chances of passing the real thing.

Flashing Red Lights

Flashing Red Lights

A flashing red signal light means “STOP”. After stopping, you may proceed when it is safe. And you must always observe the right-of-way rules.

Unfortunately, a copy and paste error between databases made one of the questions for New York and Illinois on licenseroute.com showing an incorrect alternative as the answer.

Many of you have noticed this error. Probably because this is one of the most important questions and one you should really know the answer to.

So how did I miss that? Well, what can I say… My face is just as red as the stop light. I deeply apologize for this mistake.

The error is corrected. But, as always, if you notice anything that seems to be incorrect, let us know. We do this for free with your help!

Correction in the Nevada Test

Nevada Restrictions

Every now and then we get things mixed up in the database, and we appreciate all your corrections!

Like this one on the Nevada DMV Test:

The restriction code letter D on a driver license indicates the following restriction….

Our explanation offered the correct answer, but the alternatives got mixed up. It is now fixed!

The code letter D stands for Daylight driving only.

Getting a List of Missed Questions

Studying at licenseroute.com

Today we got a really valuable comment from one our users:

“Wording is often confusing. Give a print out of the ones a person got wrong.”

Yes, we agree. Wording can be confusing. And many people fail the real thing because they don’t read the questions carefully enough.

Next week we will implement a new function that gives you a list of questions you have missed. Use this list to study the questions and your handbook.

Many Americans Don't Know the Basic Rules

gmacinsurance.com

The sixth annual survey by GMAC Insurance National tested the driver knowledge of 5,202 licensed Americans.

20 questions were taken from state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) exams. Additional questions explored distracting habits such as texting while driving.

Findings indicate that a large number of licensed Americans still lack knowledge of basic rules of the road.

85 percent could not identify the correct action to take when approaching a steady yellow traffic light, and many remained confused by safe following distances.

The Northeast had the lowest average test scores (74.9 percent) and had the highest failure rate (25.1 percent). The Midwest region had the highest average test scores (77.5 percent) and the lowest failure rates (11.9 percent).

Results also indicate that the older the driver, the higher the score. Males over 45 earned the highest average test score.

Wide Right Turns


In answer to a question on our free California test:

Our tests contains several questions about sharing the road with large trucks.

Two key factors to remember is that trucks have larger blind spots than a normal car and that they make wide turns.

The reason they make wider turns is that the rear wheels travel a shorter distance than the front wheels. See the image above.

To compensate the shorter path of the rear wheels, a driver might need to turn slightly to the left, before turning right.

Never try to get between the truck and the curb when the truck driver is turning. The driver will not be able to see a car that is directly behind them or beside them in their blind spots, so be cautious.

Shouldn’t All Passengers Wear Their Seat Belt?

New York State

Shouldn’t all passengers in the car wear their seat belt?

This is one of the most common comments we get on questions included in our tests.

The answer is, yes, they should!

But there is an important difference between what the law requires and what you should do. Many states (like New York State) only require the driver and adult passengers to wear seat belts in the front seat.

Children should always wear seat belts or use a child safety restraint system. In New York, as an example, that is also the law.
