Monthly Poll: Could you pass your Learner's test today?

Between writing for PumpTalk and being out on the world, I feel that I have a pretty good handle on the rules of the road. But then I came across a video on the Globe and Mail (sadly, no longer available without a subscription), demonstrating that many experienced drivers don't remember some of the basics.

I started to wonder…could *I* pass my learner's test today? 

The last time I took the learner's test was loooooong time ago, so naturally, I was curious about how I would fare taking it again without the frantic studying. I went online and found an online practice test. I enjoyed the feeling of being a sweaty-palmed 17 year old again as I worked my way through the questions.

Fortunately, the results were not too embarrassing:

I got one question wrong - I totally blanked out on what this sign means:

Yes, I remember what it means…now. It means the lane is only for two-way left turns.

Of course, not everyone has time to take the full practice test for "research" purposes (although I know you're all tempted to try). Whether or not you take the test, the big question is - do you think you could you pass your Learner's test today? Take our poll below!
