You're right, it's not believable that only 1/3 don't know the rules, most likely it's 2/3 of people that don't know the rules, given how people drive.

You can know all the rules to the letter and ace a driving quiz, and that's a guarantee of basically nothing. That's why I believe studying and sitting down for a driving exam is pointless.

It should be as simple as go to for 3 or 4hs rule driving course by the government (or authorized government authority), then sign a document declaring that you have assisted the course and you are aware of driving rules and allow you to do supervised driving before taking the driving exam.

Every single time I'm walking on the streets I particularly pay attention to car drivers when going to the supermarket. Do you know what a lot of people are doing? Looking at mobile phone screens.

Given the fact that statistically almost everyone has a mobile phone I'm inclined to think that distraction due to mobile screen can be as dangerous (or even more) as being drunk while driving. This is also why I believe that displays in cars should be completely banned and driving instruments should be old school.
