online traffic school
so i'm starting to pay the consequences of speeding (well, aside from not speeding as much anymore)... which means traffic school and bail + court fees.
i'm taking online traffic school right now. one of the perks is that i can do it at home. it will save my progress. i can do it in multiple sessions.
and i can't fail.
in fact, i don't have to pay until i pass.
but some things bother me about the class...
the quizzes:
i would like to know what questions i got wrong and the right answers to them.
for the content, there are a few things i don't understand the recommendations for:
- high beaming and honking at the person you're passing on a two-lane freeway as *warning* for what you're planning on doing. i have a hard time seeing this as anything other than an inflammatory action.
- in efforts of avoiding backing out of a place which is "high risk" to pull forward into parking spaces on to the other side, so that you can pull forward on your way out instead of backing out. now... i see that as a riskier thing, seeing as how someone else might be trying to park into that spot as you're parking in this obnoxious way. i mean, parking places specifically ask you not to.
there are other silly things, but i really wonder at who thought that would be a good idea.

These questions that don't make sense to you are plants. They don't have an answer that comes out of the DMV handbook, nor can you answer them by common sense. They know if you get them wrong you aren't following the class. Most of what they teach in the class is going to be straight out of the dmv handbooks it has to be, so to verify you use their source material and don't just jump to the tests they give planted questions.

ah... the questions made sense. those two things i listed were actual recommendations within the literature of their class. :P
they actually WANT you to do those things. which is the part i don't understand. :P
