Boy racer
Boy racer
You like speeding down residential roads and committing multiple speeding offences in a car that's got a huge spoiler. You're always revving your engine to try and sound like a sports car - even though you're only driving a hatchback.
Sunday driver
Sunday driver
Sunday is your day on the road. You'll be off to church or to see the grandkids - normally looking a little lost and driving well below the speed limit. You often find a stream of cars stacked up behind you.
Mum in a hurry
Mum in a hurry
You're a busy mum zipping about between school, football practice or dance lessons. Your car is a complete tip, with sweet wrappers, muddy boots or baby changing equipment strewn about. Parking can be tricky so you'll mount the kerb or leave the engine running on double yellows while you collect the kids.
Amber gambler
Amber gambler
You see the lights change from green to amber and your first thought isn’t to slow down, but instead hit the accelerator and prey you miss the red light. You mostly get it spot on but occasionally you'll meet another Ambler Gambler and things get messy.
Just passed

You don't put a foot wrong - mainly because you're scared. You spent hours at roundabouts waiting for a gap big enough to pull out in and drive well under the speed limit to avoid get snapped.

Know it all
You can recite the entire Highway Code from memory, and take great pleasure in pointing out mistakes. You'll also have a go at other drivers for making errors - but think your driving is perfect.
Short fuse
Short fuse
You're an angry driver and are a menace to others. You regard being overtaken as a personal slight. And heaven forbid if someone cuts you up. You spend most of your time red in the face shouting and swearing at other drivers.
