And a test where you get penalized for the right answers, as well as the 
wrong ones.  I lost one point on that test due to a question in which 
there were two clearly-correct answers.  I happened to choose the 
clearly-correct answer which was politically at odds with the people who 
wrote the test, though.

What's even more frightening re: cars.  According to the San Jose 
Mercury-News, *two-thirds* of all California drivers fail the driving 
examination on their first attempt, and half of them require three or more 
attempts.  Given that number, I'm far more scared of J. Random Californian 
with a car than I am J. Random Californian with a handgun.
