The Venetian data, not too far from national average of 22.3%highlights an often overlooked aspect: the importance of constantly updating yourself on the rules of the highway code.
But what exactly does this result imply? First of all, this is not a complete failure. The sample of Lombard citizens has on average answered 15 out of 20 questions correctlya fact that suggests a good basic knowledge of the regulations. It is errors on specific topics that have an impact on the final result.
Among the aspects that have generated greater uncertainty are: quizzes regarding warning lights and road signs. These are key points that require precise application of the rules and regulations of road behavior.
Constant updating required
But what are the causes of this discrepancy between the theoretical knowledge acquired at the time of the exam and the current reality? One of the main factors is represented by continuous changes to the highway code During the years. Regulations may be subject to reviews, updates and modifications, often in response to new road safety needs or developments in the urban and technological landscape.
Furthermore, many motorists might fall into the illusion of “regulatory stability”, thinking that once you have obtained your driving license it is not necessary to continue studying. However, reality shows that to maintain safe and responsible driving It is essential to stay constantly updated on the regulations in force.
