These are the hardest driving test questions

Driver inspections on the streets continue strong. This is how the mornings tell each day and also he report submitted by the Carabinieri of Chile which This year, it recorded 2,905,182 vehicle checks nationwide.

Of this total, more than 430,000 have committed violations of the traffic law , being the main cause of said penalties, that of driving without a license. Specific, 30% of reports (128,401) were issued to drivers who did not have their licence.

Although many offenders have seen their license expired -due to the collapse of the services responsible for renewing said license in the municipalities-; others had simply never taken it off. What may have to do with the reluctance that exists to do paperwork and take exams, especially the theoretical one.

According to the National Road Safety Commission (Conaset), of the four examinations required to obtain a driving license (medical, psychotechnical, theoretical and practical), the knowledge test is the one that failed the most. So much so that half of those who take it, do not pass it. In professional classes, even, the failure rate is higher, 60%.

The theory test to obtain a driving license contains 35 questions in total, three of which score double, so the maximum is 38 points. There are 45 minutes to respond and it is approved with a minimum of 33 points So there is little margin for error.

Although the examination is based on the content exposed in The new driver’s book , periodically updated to incorporate regulatory changes; This letter does not contain questions, as the idea is that the applicant understands the rules and not that, on the contrary, to memorize the answers.

“Despite the fact that this material has been around for 10 years to prepare for the assessment, There are still people who prefer to study through questionnaires, which are not official in any way and have errors in the answers. In this sense, a person who has studied the Book conscientiously will pass the exam with absolute certainty,” says Karina Muñoz, Executive Secretary of Conaset.

“The psychotechnical examination, on the other hand, requires psychomotor skills which can be practiced if the person is in a suitable state of health to drive, and something similar happens with the practical examination, because We have noticed that people tend to prepare themselves more for driving the car, do more hours of driving practice, since we consider, wrongly, that this aspect is more important than having theoretical knowledge to move on the slopes. However, the factors assessed (medical, theoretical and practical) as part of the licensing process are all relevant to safe driving,” he adds.

That said, Conaset gave us statistics on the questions or elements that most complicate candidates for the theory test for a class B license :

– 65% of the time a question about the distance that must be with a collective locomotion stop when parking .

– 61% of the time a question related to behavior a driver should have.

– 59% of the time a question about benefits of maintaining tires at the specified pressure.

– 57% of the time a question was answered incorrectly regarding the careful distances that must be maintained between vehicles when driving on motorways.
