I remember that rule. Not that they would know or anything. I took the test in Centereach, I'm pretty sure. Maybe it was easier all those years ago because I didn't have any trouble at all. In those days, they would not tell you right away. You had to wait for "the envelope".

I think this is still in effect, at least for motorcycle endorsements. The test area in Freeport isnt supposed to be used to practice.

Do you know any of the rules of the road ?

If you do know could you please enter some of those rules here, then i'll point out what everyone does, and you tell me what the percentage is.


There isn't enough cops to hammer everyone on all your clueless driving, but i'll bet kay they could just sit outside your house and wait for you to leave and give you one before you get to the corner. . .

I'm not the one pulling numbers out of thin air.

Well if you want answers post what YOU know and we'll go thru it....

If i can drive thru any neighborhood any time and SEE EVERYONE doing it, how can my numbers be wrong... EVERYONE is driving cluelessly. . .

You just do not want to be lumped into that number when you are shown you are part of them.....

I understand, i wouldn't want to be those people either, so i make sure and DRIVE and know the rules and follow them, maybe other than the speed limit here and there, but not anything else. . . .

"SEE EVERYONE doing it" != 96%.. it everyone would mean 100%.

Unlike you, I don't claim to know everything.

Then if you do not know all the rules and of driving then you clearly ARE in that low and safe 94% i gave you...

All you have to do is pay attention and every .8 seconds you'll find another clueless person that is operating a vehicle...

You've stated on another thread that you have driven a few million miles. What have you been driving and where? How many years did it take you to drive a few million miles?

He's also admitted that he fails to use his turn signals on highways, and that he blocks the box when he wants to.

I don't take this LIMA guy seriously, and I doubt anyone else here does either.
