Researchers Claim Drivers Can Be Classified Into 7 Basic Gategories - Have They Got You Pegged?

It's not unusual for us to try and give names to the other people we're forced to share the road with. We come up with endless derogatory terms for anyone who cuts us off, hogs the left lane or speeds through our children's school zone. Once in a while, we'll even have something nice to say about someone who let's us merge in or gives up their right of way. But now, social psychologists from London School of Economics, along with Goodyear, have concluded a road safety study, and they say that all drivers can be narrowed down into just 7 categories.

Nah it only takes me 3 categories-

A-hole- owns the road and feels everyone else is just renting it- my category

Pushover- opposite of A hole but causes just as many accidents by being overly polite/cautious

Baby on Board- drives as if they have a small child in the backseat 24/7 which is commendable

As with most labels and boxes, I don't seem to fit. And I'm good with that!

I can fall into almost any of those categories depending on what is going on around and inside me that day :).

Sheer idiocy. I fit none of them.

#8 Boy Scout / Surveys mirrors and has 360 degree awareness. Reasonably obeys the rules of the road and is courteous. Ignores dramatic idiot drivers.

I'm balls out at the track and a total predator, but on the road. I am always maintaining my safety.
