who the hell compiles these things, I had to do one for work.

Stupid questions like do you enjoy going fast round corners. FFS I ride a bike of course I do.

If there was no enforcement, would you obey the speed limits. FFS, again I ask you. appropriate speed limits, ie built up areas etc of course, but NSL in the middle of nowhere what is the point.

Are accidents other drivers fault. Generally yes.

so this assessment of me says

I am high risk because of my annual mileage and no of hours I drive. No ****!.

I am high risk of aggression behind the wheel. leading to :-
Speeding Intimidation of others
Erratic driving Tailgating
Sudden Lane Changing
High risk overtaking


I am high risk of excitement leading to :-
General speeding
Frustration with 'slower' drivers
High Speed Cornering
Excessive overtaking
Harsh acceleration and braking
Displays of overconfidence


This one really does P me off, just because I find driving boring I am suddenly high risk of my driving focus leading to :-
Distraction and preoccupation
Poor navigation skills,
Inappropriate speed for conditions
Poor decision-making


apparently my self estimation is high risk leading to :-
Low acknowledgement of own mistakes
Repetition of driving errors.

my confidence is also high risk so I will be :-
Exceeding drivers' capabilities
Excessive sent me on a driving course

So how are my employers going to change me?. Years ago they sent me on a driving course, I have to admit I did learn from it how to become a faster smoother driver with better hazard perception. Looking forward to the company H&S guys telling me I need to change my ways... Grrrrrr
