I think I had a question like "When going uphill, what force is being exerted upon your vehicle?" Gravity .
If they would require an IQ test before handing out licenses, there would be much less road rage in the world.

that is not true at all. my professor was pretty smart but a complete psycho on the road. he had a suspended license half the time
OK, a common sense test then.
Sample question:
You are at a stop sign about to turn onto a divided highway. Of the two lanes available for you to turn into, the left lane (a) is open and the right (b) contains an 18 wheeler approaching at highway speed approximately 1/4 mile from you. Which choice would be the least likely to turn your 1984 Ford P.O.S. into a mangled pile of scrap metal which the fire department will have to cut open with the jaws of life to retrieve your remains?
Luckily, based on my personal experience, most motorists today would choose (b) which means they would fail and lose their licenses...
Just 5?
I thought there were 7?
Wow, I thought it was pretty easy. I passed it the first time when I was 16 and 20 both of which were written. I had to test a year early this winter because I had too many duplicates issued and they wouldn't issue another w/o me taking the tests. I had to take both the written (which is now not really written but computer based) and the driven exam.
I was nervous about the written since I hadn't taken it in like 8 years, but once I took it I knew there was no way that I was going to fail, it was easy. There were no trick questions about fines, skid marks, and other lame topics like others have mentioned. All the questions were straight forward questions that everybody on the road should know like identifying signs by color and shape, safety issues, distances, speeds, real life scenarios, mostly somewhat to really basic info.
I was really nervous about the driving part since I hadn't taken that in 12 years. I thought I would get deducted points for little things that I hadn't thought about in years, but again it was nothing to be nervous about. Just have to remember to use your blinkers all the time no matter what even if it seems pointless, keep it slow, check your mirrors, make complete stops behind the lines, look for school zones, and give right-a-way to pedestrians.
I drove slower and more cautious than I had ever in my life, they have to know that people don't drive like that in real life. Only thing I did lose points for not using my blinker once, after she had me do an emergency stop and put on my hazards, I forgot to use my blinker as a pulled away from the curb.
I past the written test with ease, but I did failed the first time I took the driving test. In all fairness I knew that after I ran over that cop my chances to pass were slim
I passed the written part the first time. BUt I thought for sure I was going to fail the driving part because while I was parallel parking he said nevermind just go ahead and pull up to the stop sign. He barely passed me and said well you barely did it and walked away. What an ass but I think that is a requirement to work there.
I passed the driving test on the third try. The officer seemed pretty upset when I lifted the back end of the car into the air as I backed over the parallel parking pole...
I don't mean to be an asshole, but how stupid could you possibly be?
I took that while high and passed...."A stop sign is what shape?" hahaha
Did they make it more difficult or what?
Come on bro.
I didn't take Drivers Ed, I didn't study, I just went up and took the test.
The written portion is total BS in my opnion.

Seriously, if you don't have the brain power to pass the written portion, you don't belong behind the wheel.
Okay buddy it's not all common sense. And most of the questions are pretty stupid.
i remember i barely passed too... i took the home course as well and didnt study... but the questions i got were pretty common sense... i was lucky enough to get it on my first try.
Written test I passed with flying colors... I think I had one wrong answer. Maybe.
The driving test, however, didn't go quite so smoothly. Within about five seconds of getting into the car, the DMV guy made a point to tell me that California law states that if the same person fails you twice, they're not allowed to do the third test with you. I probably should have just seen that as a clear sign that, no matter what happened, I was going to be taking that test three times. Jerk failed me the first time for taking turns too fast, then failed me a week later for taking turns too slow. When I passed on the third try with a new DMV guy, the first thing he asked was why I wasn't passed the first two times.
Maybe the first guy just wanted to fail you so he could find you walking and pick you up in the future

I always figured it was either that he was a creep who wanted reasons to be around young girls, or that he was the type who had to get his power fix by being a prick at the DMV.
