I really want to know the details and the rules. Even if few people follow them, I want to know what’s what and right from wrong on the road. I’d rather know the rules and break them than be ignorant of them.

I have an app with all the questions. I have saved the ones with the confusing English and committed the counterintuitive answers to memory. It may seem strange, but I am enjoying the challenge. Years ago, Thai bureaucracy would frustrate me. At some point, I just accepted it and now find the whole process amusing.

Absolutely what I meant. In its way, the US is a rather isolated place. I was a teacher there for 18 years and have a hard time finding any optimism. I wish them the best… Wait! Wasn’t I talking about traffic signs?!

I have read all the questions and they are pushing the limits of my sanity.

Written test. My American drivers license allows me to skip the driving part of the test.
