Reading one of the magazines for foreigners, I found some of the questions you need to answer in the written test for getting a driver's licence.
The exam for foreigners is in English. A form of English quite unintelligible, (the journalist specifically says it appears to be an unscripted speecb by George Bush, translated into Swahili and then back again by a rabid dog with a taste for martinis).
The test is multiple choice. The following are some of the actual questions from the test and imaginary answers:
Q.
If you get in or out of an alley, cross a level crossing of a railway, make a sharp turn, or pass through a narrow road, a narrow bridge or a tunnel at the speed of 20km/hr, you:
A: ...ARE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE
Q:
What causes most accidents?
A: DRIVING
Q:
If there is no causality between the violating act of the traffic accident's party and the traffic accident, the party:
A: ...WILL GO ON AS PLANNED, WITH EVEN LOUDER MUSIC AND MORE
FOOD.
Q:
When the party of the traffic accident maintains that he refuses to accept as final, how soon may the party apply for remaintaining to the upper-class public security organs after receiving the maintaining statement of traffic accident responsibility?
A: HUHHH?
Q:
If convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol, to which public security organ must one apply:
A: THE LIVER
Q:
When the traffic police stretches his right arm horizontally with palm of hand facing the front and with the left side of the body facing your car, that is:
A: ... A SIGNAL THAT HE IS ABOUT TO BEGIN THE TRADITIONAL TRAFFIC POLICE HULA DANCE.
Q:
In order to ensure the safety of driving, the driver with excess tiresome is not allowed to drive the car. The excess tiresome means to drive every day over.
A: ... THIS IS A TIRESOME EXAMINATION
Now, do you think you will pass?

was extremely funny
Thank you whoever you are for your sense of humor. I laughed out loud just reading your message...It was really funny! Say...I am about to take the freaking exam anyway, I have been living in Shanghai for a month and I haven't changed my mind. I go to work with my scooter but I still want a car (especially to visit some places west of shanghai and more...) Thanks anyway
