Do you drive like a pensioner?

Hello! Caswal kindly gave me permission to link you up to a project I've been working on, I hope it might give you a laugh!

The saying goes that you're only as old as you think, but how old do you drive? This quick quiz is designed to find out if you're more of a teenager or a pensioner when you get behind the wheel.

Be brave and tell us: what's your driving age? :D

Re: Do you drive like a pensioner?

Haha, only 25 years old, but this sounds about right:

You're 40 — Experienced Driver!

You hoover, wash and polish your car at least once a week — in fact, you treat it like an extension of your home. Of course, you have good reason to make your car a nice place to be. Your relaxed driving style means you spend plenty of time behind the wheel.

Re: Do you drive like a pensioner?

My civic has changed the way I drive... Becausei bought it for myself, I wash it regularly, get it serviced properly, I don't thrash it (much) and I drive smoothly and unhurriedly in traffic. This makes me 40, apparently!

I'm 24...

You're 32 — Confident Driver!

You're comfortable behind the wheel and get from A to B in good time.
You're more likely to honk your horn than be honked at. While you still enjoy listening to music on the move,
nowadays the volume is set a little lower than when you were in your teens.
Drive carefully and look after your car for a safe and successful driving career.

37 - experienced driver...

Re: Do you drive like a pensioner?

Well, I didn't understand question 2 about the music. I have no idea what Radio 1 and Radio 2 means. I'm pretty sure my music is LOUDER than it was in my teens and 20's! I pay around $1600 USD per year for insurance on my two cars, so I'm not sure if I converted it right. My car is almost immaculate, but it hasn't been cleaned out in a couple of weeks. FYI, I'm a 44 y/o female. :P

Those are BBC Radio stations. And I chose listening to the engine, because V8 'Murica!

That's just under £1,000...

Experienced drivers are outnumbering confident drivers so far... and you're the youngest! :mrgreen:

Re: Do you drive like a pensioner?

Oh good. I checked 800-999, so it seems I was right on! :) I'm both the oldest and youngest. HAHAHAHAHAHA As for engine, I listen to it occasionally, but I have a lot of watts running through the 6 speakers in my car (~1200W), so I listen to a lot of loud music, Disturbed, Metallica, Iron Maiden, FFDP, etc.
