But surprisingly, it turned out to be quite entertaining. Actually, the word to be used is facetious. I mean, not that all the questions were funny at first sight. But once you actually deliberate with yourself on the answers, our opinions might differ a tad bit from what has been printed.
Here's a sneak-peek into "A Book of Guide To Learner's Driving License Test".
Q. In which gear can the vehicle come down a slope/hill?
A. The same gear in which the vehicle went up the slope/hill.
--> :
Q. What is the signal to be shown by the driver while:
(i) Turning to the left
(ii) Turning to the right
(iii) Slowing down the vehicle
(iv) Stopping the vehicle

A. The driver should
(i) Put his right hand out and turn it to the left in circles.

-->Q. (vi) To show a fellow driver that you don't appreciate his road etiquette.

Q. Which vehicles should be given preference on the road?
A . Ambulance and fire-engine.
--> MY ride!
Q. When can a driver drive a vehicle through the footpath?
A. On request from the Police or Traffic-police.
--> When the driver is completely wasted. Hey, they asked "When can a driver...?" and not "When may a driver...?".
Q. What is the maximum speed allowed for privately owned motor cars in Kerala?
A. 70 kmph

Q.How many people can travel in a tractor?
A. Only the driver.

Q. What is the punishment given for driving under physical stress or mental disorder?
A. Rs. 200 fine.
--> : Do we have check-posts for that?
Q. What information should be given to the police station if your vehicle meets with an accident?
A. Circumstances in which the accident took place, whether medication has been given to the injured and if not, why.
--> Most importantly, start with, "It wasn't my fault!".
Q. What are the things to be checked before the vehicle is used, to ensure safety on the road?
A. Efficiency of brake, lights, wipers, tyres and also if the windscreen is clean.
--> Make sure that the right CDs are in the MP3 player.
Q. What are the rules to be observed when another vehicle tries to overtake you?
A. The driver should slow down and take the vehicle to the left side of the road; allow the vehicle behind to comfortably pass by. The driver should not, in any case, increase the speed or turn to the right, thereby blocking the passage.
--> Yeah, right. Put the pedal to the metal, baby!
P.S And yes, I did pass the test with 12 right answers from a respectable 14 questions.
