I was in line to get my drivers license exam graded in Colorado. This old guy & his younger companion (daughter?) couldn't get an answer, & asked everyone in line for the answer.

I got to the clerk, pointed out the offending couple, and complained about them, saying I didn't want to be on the same road with those cheating dunderheads on my motorcycle. He said it wouldn't do any good, as they'd just go to another DMV office.

So, what good will a quiz do with a system as corrupt as US driver licensing?
