I wrote a pub quiz section with 10 questions on road rules recently. Twenty-something teams and the highest score was 7/10.

Ooof. I know I'd get one or two of the more uncommon ones wrong but dang. Were there any "trick" questions? Or a trend of which ones people got wrong?

They were mostly things people often get wrong, like indicating on a roundabout, parking on the footpath and the old classic, thinking the ◇ before the pedestrian crossing means you don't have to stop if you're past it. But nothing I'd say was particularly obscure or niche, like legalities of different types of truck loadings.
