However, we have had to fill in a recent questionnaire on our driving attitudes and I have been assessed as high risk.

I am classed as high risk because of the following categories :-

Situational factors:-
High Mileage
Hours driving.

I would have thought both the above went hand in hand.

Behavioural factors :-
Aggression
Driving Excitement
Driving Focus
Self Evaluation

So, the truth. I answered their questions honestly, but about me on the road. Many of the things that scored to me being aggressive are because I answered them from a bikers perspective. yes I will overtake slower moving traffic, yes I cross into the opposite carriageway to improve my visibility, yes I enjoy twistie roads etc.


Well I have to now do another driving course. Yippee
You don't like working in the office. Work are paying for you a day out of the office. I do believe the technical term for such a situation is win/win isn't it?
