AA research suggests the majority of drivers wouldn't score more than 70 percent in a basic road rules test. The shocking figures have prompted the association to call for optional knowledge refreshers when licences are renewed.

AA research and road safety manager Dylan Thomsen told Checkpoint it was "quite concerning" that not a single person was able to get all 24 questions in the test correct.

To gain a learners licence a theory test must be passed with 90 percent accuracy.

Thomsen said of the 535 surveyed drivers, only a handful were able to reach that mark.
