Recently I have been studying for my driving test. As I have mentioned I am not very good at studying. My mind tends to wander and I end up on the most counterproductive thought trains. Today, while reviewing the ‘International Traffic Signs’ booklet I got a little distracted and ended up making up my own captions for some of the signs:
In all honesty, I feel very prepared for my test. I also reviewed the questions booklet of local driving laws. My favourite question by far was, in short, “Who other than a police officer has the lawful right to stop you on the road?” Answer? “A man with a horse or any other animal.” Really, I got quite excited. I mean any other animal? That’s a lot of possibilities! I figure now if I fail my driving test I can just take my cat out on the road and demand that someone pull over and give me a ride. I could even use a gold fish.
ADDITION:
Upon further inspection the grammatical incorrections in the legal examination booklet of 'Light Motor Vehicle Driver's Examination Study Guide' make it so difficult to focus on what they are trying to ask. For example "What does the law require as regards tinted glass and windshield of vehicles?"is not proper English, that kind of question would not be accepted in the real world. Now I blame my inability to study on the incredible need for these people to hire a literary editor and not my borderline ADHD. Good to know it's not all my fault.
Wish me luck!
Excuse me while I "HAR HAR" at the last one in the first picture.
