Drivers Test in Asia???

We have settled down in the work here and realized the benefit having a vehicle would be for the work and our family. D recently took a trip and had to hire a driver since it was a remote area. The driver was rather impatient and really cut D’s time short visiting with that brother. Β It would be a LOT easier to travel as a family to these farther areas too. Β Often the buses only run a couple times a day, and you wouldn’t want to miss the “last bus out” if you hadn’t planned on staying the night.

So, we’ve been studying for the test and have ran into quite a few bumps along the way. . but we have officially completed all the paperwork and running around needed for us to take the test for our drivers license. Since we already have an American drivers license, we only need to take the written test. Someone is supposed to call and set up a test day and time within the next month. There will be 100 questions, and you can only miss 10. My concern is that I will have 10 questions that are either worded strangely, translated incorrectly, or with grammar mistakes that make the meaning and correct answer quite difficult to decipher. Here are some examples below from my studies :)

In “this” situation. . . well, what is “this” situation anyways?

That just doesn’t make sense. “The causes can be the first to leave?”

Only after looking up “neutral slide” did I realize it means putting your car in neutral gear.

Too wordy, and it doesn’t make sense.

What does it even mean for a motor vehicles to reach end-of-life standards for driving?

Correct, it is “no” allowed :)

I think they should add a few more words and use “branch” a few more times :)

When I hear “electrical appliances” I think of a refrigerator.

  1. Wow! So glad that I don’t have to take this test. I think I would choose the answer of “Honk and drive on through” for most of the questions. I noticed that there are 100 questions on the test. That alone would scare me to death. Prayers for a completed test with all of the right answers.

  2. Forget the test and give the driver a bigger TIP. I agree with Beverly “Honk and drive through” is the answer for most of questions.
