      For indian roads, I sincerely believe that a 21 is purely idealistic.

      I scored 16.

        I scored ~15-16,
        Questions with low marks -

        1. (1) Close call with a car - Offcourse 90% times it wouldn't be my fault. I should curse the car driver. :P

        2. (5th) some near misses. nothing to be bothered about. (I guess I'm wrong here )

        3. (7th question) - I feel like doing what is suggested in first answer, but generally use the 2nd option with horning. :P

          I got 13, but for my city's situations (small roads, etc.), I feel I'm too risky. Although no accidents till now, not even on a moped/ cycle/ anything, but I do feel as if there's lot to improve...

          and yes, frankly speaking, I say my riding is near-excellent, result oriented, but quite immature overall...

                Its all fine and dandy, asnwering questions from the comfort of your living room , how many would still opt for the same alternative given the same situation in real life?
                I feel these self evaluation are too vague an estimate of ones ability to observe safety precautions on road. But I guess thats all we have..

                PS : I scored 17

                    13. Not surprised since the questionnare gives more weightage to defensive driving.

                          A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.
