Taken from the CompTIA IT Fundamentals Exam Guide book (2nd edition, published 2021). I'm not sure if they fixed this in newer versions, if at all.

To be fair, when you drive in California you really have to apply the Californian traffic laws and not the Canadians.

It wasn't the rules/signs portion of the test. They litereally had questions like:

Which is more dangerous when riding beside a row of parked cars?

A) A car pulling out.

B) Someone opening a car door.

C) A child running into the street from between two parked cars.

It's not an opinion question, personally I'd rather hit the car and the door over the child, but they want to know the answer that the study material gave.

Oh yes, I remember the paper test in California and it was really stupid. Things like "what should you do in foggy weather?" And the correct answer was "stay at home and don't drive".

Their whole booklet was a joke, instead of clear rules it was a mix up of actual rules, advice and trivia with no meaningful organization.

In the UK all our questions were things like 'You are about to drive into a wall, do you (a) honk your horn, (b) speed up, (c) stop'.

The rule was if there was a 'stop' answer, use that one, otherwise use the 'slow down' answer. You'd pass easily.

I always wondered if one day they'd throw in a curve ball.. 'you are being chased by a hoard of zombies..'

What a bullshit question. If they don't want people to drive in fog they should make it illegal. Otherwise, they should just acknowledge that people are going to do it and not coerce them to lie on a test

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
