    This would be rather more useful if it was written for UK drivers. I
    assume it's a US test, and the one thing that becomes obvious right from
    the first question is that they must have some rather different traffic
    signals to ours. I suppose it serves to highlight the importance of
    familiarising yourself with the rules before driving (or cycling) in a
    foreign land.

    When did you last use your left arm to signal you were turning right?

    A couple of changes have obviously been made to convert the test from right
    to left but I think some of the signs are wrong too.

    If you are intending to ride in Greece, it's worth knowing that the rule
    on roundabouts is the opposite of that in the UK: you should give way to
    traffic coming *onto* the roundabout when you are on it; i.e. give way
    to your right.

    Like they used to in France - the only place this rule seems to survive
    is the Place de l'Etoile (Arc de Triomphe). With modern traffic volumes
    it just doesn't work.
