*+-Looking at the NYS DMV Drivers Manual, Revised June 1993, there's no
*+-mention of bike lanes. Perhaps it should be made clear to taxi's and
*+-other motorists that it is illegal to block the bike lane.
I took the written test twice - in 1977 and again in 1991.
(I failed the road test in 8/78 and never took it again until 3/91)
I was totally shocked how much easier it was in 1991 because easily
40% of the test was alcohol-related questions.
Not that drunk driving should be ignored, but what about checking that
folks really know how to drive? Another case of social-engineering types
turning perfectly good intentions into insane results.
At least require that BOTH the alcohol and the regular sections be passed
instead of watering down the test. As it stood, they might as well have
just done away with the whole test, as the answers were so totally obvious.
