Those tricky driving tests

Starting this summer, a law goes into effect that will require most boaters in Virginia to eventually take and pass a boating education course. Tuesday the board of directors of the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries was listening to a presentation about proposed testing requirements when one of the directors spoke up. “Is this going to be like the driver’s test?” he wondered. “Because I remember on that test they try to trick you. I had to take it twice to pass.” Everyone in the room burst into laughter. The concerned board member was professional stock car driver Ward Burton. — Mark Taylor
