Public Insurance is introducing an on-line driving
quiz to its web site (www.mpi.mb.ca) as a complement to
its many other programs and services aimed at helping Manitobans
develop and maintain safe driving habits.
"Failing
to know the rules of the road can have serious consequences,"
said Lou Gervino, Manitoba Public Insurance Driver Education
Supervisor. "It can get you in trouble with the law and worse,
it could leave you or someone else dead or injured.
"This
on-line quiz is a fun, safe way for drivers of all ages to
sharpen their knowledge."
The
quiz is designed to particularly appeal to novice drivers,
and to those enrolled in or planning to enroll in Manitoba
Public Insurance's High School Driver Education program.
"Younger
Manitobans are statistically more likely to be comfortable
with web-based technology and on-line 'games' like the quiz,"
said Gervino. "However, from the feedback we've received already,
even the most experienced drivers are finding that they can
benefit from the quiz."
The
driving quiz has a database of almost 300 questions that have
been pulled from the pages of the Manitoba Driver's Handbook.
Visitors to the site can choose to answer between 5 and 20
questions at a time. Each time they take the quiz they'll
receive a different set of questions. The correct answers
are displayed along with your personal results.
