Tonight was my first browse into the Official Theory Driving Test Guide I borrowed from a friend. I’m so amused by the kind of questions in the book, and baffled by how many questions in the Alertness section are dedicated to repeating the same question about mobile phones in about 20 different ways! Yes, we understand, driving while on the phone is bad.

Then, the puffin, pelican and penguin crossings come… Who the hell named those?! The day I see a penguin cross the road, I’ll agree with the name… Till then, I’ll call them all “crossings where you get bonus points if you run a couple of people over”, if that’s fine with the Department of Transportation.
