“99% of American drivers would fail this drivers test if asked to take this test cold turkey,” a user commented.
“Similar in Taiwan. The parallel parking has to be done in one shot, no back-and-forth. If you fail twice, you are out,” another user shared, uploading a photo of the driving course.

However, some users found the purported exam’s requirements impractical when it comes to everyday driving.
“Driving is not a matter of moving a car right left front or backwards! IT IS ALL ABOUT DEALING WITH OTHER DRIVERS IN TRAFFIC AND PEOPLE AROUND !” one user emphasized.

“That’s nice. Road test on actual roads with actual cars is a much better test to see if a driver is prepared to drive,” another user argued.
As of this writing, the viral video has accumulated over 11 million views and 180,000 likes.
