Take The Jerk’s Driving Theory Test

Recent research suggests that two out of three drivers on the road would be unable to pass their driving theory test if they took it today. No wonder there are so many bad drivers on the road! With that in mind, we’ve put together some questions we’d like to see on an updated version of the test, quizzing what it’s REALLY like to drive on the road in 2015. Take the test and see – how much of a driving jerk are you?
