Chinese Driving Test

So you've heard all of the jokes about Asian drivers, you think Chinese are bad drivers? You think you're a good driver? Why not try the official English theory exam for foreigners who want to obtain their Chinese driving license - mandatory if you wish to drive in China. The test is surprisingly hard.

The exam questions are translated into English from the Chinese language exam, the translation is not 100% exact (we didn't translate them!). Chinese people who are studying for the theory test have a book containing 1000 questions and answers - only 100 of these questions will be in the exam. It is somewhat easier for foreigners to obtain their Chinese license in China - they only have to learn a 100 questions, which are the exam questions. The exam questions from 1 to 65 are repeated here below. Remember, to get your Chinese license you need obtain more than 90% on the exam. Can you do it?
