What does your score on our Crash Risk Quiz mean?
0 – 3 points. You are a well-educated defensive driver. If some of the terms in our quiz are unfamiliar, you can still learn a few new things from Mike Pehl’s unique Defensive Driving paradigm.
4 – 6 points. You are probably a good driver who got a TYPICAL driver training education, with most of the focus on basic laws and rules, and very little information about crash dynamics or defensive driving (either philosophy or tactics). It’s not too late to improve your knowledge and skills, by learning from Mike Pehl.
7 – 18 points. Are you “an accident waiting to happen?” Well, it’s impossible to predict exactly when any driver will be in a crash, but you should definitely tilt the odds in your favor by learning from Mike Pehl right now.
