Connect Quiz Are You a Good Driver?

What kind of driver are you? Take our quiz to see where you rank on the good driver spectrum.

1. When driving through crowded neighborhoods with cars parked on the sides, what is your reaction to another car coming in the opposite direction towards you?

Play chicken with the other car and then speed through the narrow space.

Find a safe space to pull over and wait for the other car to drive through.

7. When you have a green light at an intersection where traffic makes it difficult to move, what do you do?

Move into the center of the intersection and hope traffic starts moving before the light changes.

Wait until there’s enough room in front of me to continue.

8. How do you approach a four-way stop?

Speed up and hope the other car pulls to the side.

2. If a pedestrian is walking while you have a green light to turn left or right, what is your move?

Accelerate into the turn and hope they can move quickly.

Stop until they’ve cleared the entire crosswalk.

Honk for them to move faster.

3. What is your response to a car driving under the speed limit?

Speed around them. Flash my lights and drive as close to their car as possible. Remain patient until it’s safe to pass.

4. If a bus is stopping to drop off or pick up children from school in your neighborhood, what is your next step?

Step on the gas to avoid waiting. Zoom off once the last kid hops off the bus. Wait patiently until the stop sign is gone, then proceed with caution.

5. How do you drive through roundabouts?

Inch into the crosswalk and gun it when the light turns yellow.

Stop signs are just a suggestion. Slow down to a California roll and enter the intersection before any other cars get the chance. Come to a complete stop and proceed when it’s my turn to go.

9. How do you react to bicyclists on the road?

Honk for them to get out of the way. Squeeze past them and hope no one is hit.

Give them space and wait patiently until there is room to pass.

Follow it as close as possible to skip the traffic. Keep driving. It will go around.

Move to the right shoulder or lane and stop until it can pass.

A Good Driver

If no one is coming, I jet left to avoid the full circle.

Occasionally, I’ll accelerate into the roundabout when the other cars take too long. Yield to traffic already in the roundabout, then continue to the right.

6. Where is your phone when you are driving?

In my hand or lap. On a phone holder next to my dashboard. Tucked away to avoid any distractions.

You understand that driving responsibly is key to keeping our community safe. But there is always room for improvement! Work on improving your confidence behind the wheel to avoid feelings of uncertainty and hesitation in certain situations. Situational awareness of your surroundings is also crucial when nearing stop signs, cyclists and pedestrians.
