How'd you rate your Driving?

6-7 I would say.

I'd say I'm a 6-7 / 10. I'm not a "fast" rider, but if the mood takes me, i can make progress.

 

Wherever I go, I'm never any more than 5mph over the speedlimit (Unless overtaking, which is dealt with in ~3 seconds)

 

My shortfalls are impatience, and the lust for the feeling of acceleration. I have a nasty habit of getting bored on the motorway and dropping down into 3rd, then going from 70-100. That feeling of acceleration is addictive.

 

In the dry, I have all the confidence I need, but in the wet, I often take corners at half speed, due to lack of confidence. I've had plenty of rear wheel slips while in the wet, which has made me overly cautious.

 

I try to keep as calm as possible on the roads. But sometimes, idiots who tailgate you at half a metre away cause me to "Make flames with the exhaust" and then I tell them what an idiot they are at the next set of lights.

 

Never had an accident, which is rare for a motorcyclist! And I don't intend on having any in the foreseeable future.

Hehe, a few of your comments ring true for me as well. The only time I'll tailgate a bike is when they're in the fast lane on the freeway in no hurry, with an empty lane next to them to let me past. I don't like following bikes simply because they are smaller and often drive in front of the passenger side of the car, which means I have to concentrate on yet another thing to avoid hitting them (which I honestly don't want to do) :p

 

The other day I was behind one who had some metal on the back which shined the sun directly into my eyes which was super annoying, so I went for the quick 'hoon' overtake at my earliest opportunity.

I would say about 3/10 but then again I have only ever driven round a field and on a small bit of a beach LOL, and I am not too bad in sim games

i say 6/10 just got my learners permit not to long ago and i've been learning in my big beast of a truck. i have driven buggies at the desert in the sand at about 70 MPH, which is quite difficult cause the sand makes the wheel weave at high speeds. and also had some experience in racing karts on asphalt tracks, which gave me some good car control skills over the years. on roads tho, im very calm usually, except when i pull out onto one road every morning, i like to hear my V8 roar a little bit.
