Do You Have Good Driving Skills?
We all think that we have great driving skills, but just how good are we?
It really is astonishing that almost everyone you meet will think of themselves as good, safe drivers, but the reality is that the number of accidents on the roads doesn’t necessarily bear that out.
Driving is a learned skill, and there’s very little difference driving in various countries except on which side of the road you drive; other than that most of the planet has similar rules and regulations – whether they’re used or not is another story!
A great place to judge your skills is through this awesome MSN Driving Skills Quiz that really puts you to the test. In most cases it shows more of what you don’t know rather than what you do, as most of us do seem to forget simple things over time.
Among many other little tidbits the quiz asks is when you’re driving in fog, do you use only fog lamps, low beam or high beam? Seems pretty easy, right? You would think that driving with only fog lights on would be the right answer, but all states advise that you drive with low beams on as well, as some vehicles do not have fog lights included.
Questions like this and others like it lend great insight into what skill level you can justifiably bracket yourself, and thankfully at the end of the quiz it not only gives all the correct answers, but goes into detail on the demographic breakdown of those who complete the quiz, like scores per age, scores per gender; it even compares your score to the average from your home state, broken down by age and gender.
Amazingly enough it shows a general tendency for women drivers to be not quite as knowledgeable as their male counterparts, but you shouldn’t take this as gospel!
The main thing is that this is a quick, easy way for you to rate yourself on your driving knowledge level, and making sure you know the law on things like center lane passing, double yellow lines, intersections, and other areas of safe driving.
A little brush up will make you smarter and safer behind the wheel. Make it a fun thing, have your friends and loved ones take it too and see how you compare to each other, find out if he really does know all about driving. It’s fun, it’s free and can only help us all.
Do you know how much money you can save on car repairs? After you take the driving skills test, get a quote from Warranty Direct on extended car warranties. Once again, you may be surprised to discover you didn’t know as much as you thought you did – vehicle warranties aren’t as expensive as many people think, and you can make monthly payments through Warranty Direct’s easy car warranty payment plan.
