Its a safety feature to alert people of the accident. I actually read some story about a Ford Edge driver who was hit by another vehicle & ended up going off the road & into a bunch of trees. He was trapped in the car & said he probably wouldn't have been located for a while had his vehicle not been honking.
My buddy Cory took first place in the work stock diesel class last night, with a 319 ft pull. second place was an 07 Cummins Dodge with 307 ft, everything else in the class was a Duramax too.
Exactly. I've heard lots of stories of people who went off the road in the middle of the night and weren't found for hours or days. That's also why it does three honks in quick succession; so people know it's a crash and stop instead of assuming it's a car alarm. I personally think it should be mandatory on all new cars, including the pattern so people will always associate three honks with a crash and know to help.
I don't know how the actual h*ll this happened, but, Audi in NASCAR(saw one while seeing a race of the NASCAR Peak)
That's kinda what I figured, about the ford horns. Interesting. Either use the word or don't. Don't halfway use it and censor yourself. Don't worry, no ones gonna tell your mom.
Yeah, because your name is Atomix and I can't even tell someone who's driving test is coming up soon how hard it is.
I failed the theory test once because i rushed it and didnt pay enough attention the first time. I pulled through the driving test with all stars because following the rules of the road is trivial and foolproof. If you don't pass a test, you, frankly, don't belong on the road.
I made theory the first time and failed the driving because i was 10kph to fast in a 30 zone since then i havent been caught speeding again and that for 4 years now
I failed my driving test the first time because of a no-turn-on-red, right here: When I took the test, there was no sign on the far side of intersection and the sign on the right was about 20m further back, partially obscured by a tree. There was also no "WAIT HERE" painted on the road, and ASLs for cyclists are completely unheard of here. It was especially embarrassing because I'm actually in favour of banning right-on-red altogether, and was already familiar with the ASLs in the UK at the time. I should have put two and two together and remembered that the UK doesn't allow turns on red. But, on the other hand, that's a lot of thinking to be expected to do upon seeing new infrastructure. Still on me 100%, but clearly it was enough of a problem for them to fix it. I don't think I would have made the same mistake had the current changes been implemented.
I missed 1 out of 30 questions on the written test, and passed the driving test with a perfect score. The test is easy. I know someone who ran a stop sign and still passed.
A friend of mine failed 5 times and everytime because some stupid stuff like nit indicating or something and then after finally after getting it he was caught for speeding. All of my friends and me have been caught speeding at some point seems to be a habit of us
Driving tests are a bit of a joke over here I'd say. To get a learner's permit, there is a short and very easy theory test, but to actually get a proper driver's license, there is only a road test (the new driver's license test doesn't even involve any highway driving). There is no driving lessons or training required. I passed both learner's permit and the new driver's road test on my first try. Although I'm somewhat surprised I didn't fail the road test as I slowed down to about 30km/h in a 50 zone since I saw a playground sign (and only remembered that the speed limit only changes in playground zones when specified when I was almost past the zone). I also passed some kid on a scooter that for some reason decided to ride on the road, which involved partially leaving my lane, and I didn't check my blind spot or signal. However, I was well aware that there were no vehicles near me at the time. I suppose the testing instructor/evaluator decided that these things weren't a big deal and that I still drove safely and realized what I should have done. I thought of the test more as acting than actual driving. I'd figure difficulty depends where you are, and on your instructor/whoever is evaluating you. Assuming you're in the US, it's probably not too different from here. (BC, Canada) Assuming you have a theory test, ensure you study, take practice tests if they are available. If driving lessons are not required, it is certainly not a bad idea to take some. And most importantly, if it's possible, practice driving as you would for the test as much as you can, or at least parking. (I was able to practice parking in my driveway, that worked fairly well). For the actual test, make sure you know what you need to know, and the instructor sees what they need to see. (And try not to be stressed of course) If you don't pass the first time, shouldn't too big of a deal, unless the whole testing process is expensive.
Yeah. But no. My brother didn't had his the test the first time because he was "Too confident", I don't call this a valable reason.
I failed the first time for "making an illegal maneuver", apparently all I actually did wrong, was I didn't come close enough to the curb when turning left at this intersection.
