A. Continue to weave through
B. Find space and overtake one vehicle after another
C. Honk to indicate the vehicle in front to speed up
D. Stop and wait in line
(Do they want what SHOULD be done, or what they ACTUALLY do. I’ll just leave it that I have never seen answer “D” done in China. However, the other three I see frequently, along with “E. Make your own lane”, “F. Drive on the other side of the street (or on the sidewalk or in the bushes or whatever)”, and “G. Do whatever you want (which is what you will do anyway)” I’m shocked that the people on the road actually ever took this test!)
Answer: D

A. Close the window to prevent water from flowing into the vehicle
B. Immediately use hand to open the door (use your hand guys, using your feet is a waste of time and then you have to take your shoes off)
C. Let the water to fill up the driver’s cab so that the water pressure both inside and outside is equal
D. Use a large plastic bag to cover the head and tight the neck closely
(Keep in mind you are finding the wrong answer, so that means three of these are supposed to be correct. Since “A” is the wrong answer, I’m not sure what exactly “D” is doing grouped among the correct answers. Is it like, “Hey, I’m gonna die anyway, so I might as well put a plastic bag over my head and speed up the process!” or what?!)
Answer: A

That is HILARIOUS Amy. You always have the best stories. So are you investing in a bike or a car?:)
Ok, frustrating DMV story! But hey, at least you could pass the test (unlike me in the states, and had to take the test twice). No wonder anyone (except Sam) can drive there! Why in the world they won't let him take the test is crazy. I mean, do they think he'll make the road situation worse coming from the USA or something?!
those translations are just lovely! i think i would've got thrown out for laughing and not been allowed to go back in and try again.
what are they expecting to happen to their drivers?! i don't think i had to learn what to do if my car happened to fall into a lake when i got my drivers license, nor what rescuers where allowed to do if i am bleeding profusely...
Yikes, Laura, do you think I really have a death wish?! No I will not be buying a bike! (So at the DMV they have these really disturbing videos of accidents playing all over -- REALLY disturbing, like you watch people literally get run over on their bikes or walking or whatever. Then they proceed to show the corpses and people crying about it and stuff. Really freaky!)
I am getting anxiety just reading these questions.
amy, you're so awesome! what an adventure! i love your commentary!! (o:
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying Amy, I'm crying! That is outrageously funny. You have so many perfect subjects to use in a stand-up comedy act...it'd bring in a little extra money for the baby!
That is awesome. Who did they hire to translate their test? Have you guys considered getting an international driver's license through AAA? It costs $25, though its paperwork is not as amusing as this test.
You have GOT to be kidding me. I can't believe a human being actually wrote these questions, and that said human being actually expected other human beings to understand them and get them right. Maybe that's the whole point--less drivers in China! Well hopefully you'll be able to teach them a thing or two. Oh my, I can't tell you how hard I laughed through this. I'd rather take the NCLEX than this exam any day!
