My US driving test in NJ took place at an abandoned airport runway where they checked to see if you looked in the rear view and side mirror, stopped at the stop sign, parallel parked between cones 25 feet apart, and did a K turn.

On a completely deserted road with no other cars. The idea of failing a driving test in the US is preposterous to me.



In an Europe country where I live examiners purposely bring you to tricky locations and of course it's in full traffic. I think only around 30 percent pass on the first try.


It's not like that everywhere. In Seattle you do it in regular traffic.


Not sure about today, but this is similar in difficulty to an Indian driving test from 20 years ago.
