The driver test

What kind of Singapore driver are you?

Every car in the game drives like one of six kinds of real driver. Eight honest questions decide which one you are. Your answers never leave this page.

The test

Pick the answer closest to what you would really do, not what you would tell a traffic police officer. With script on, the test is worked out right here and nothing is sent anywhere; without it, read the six results below and judge yourself.

Question 1 of 8 The light ahead turns amber. You are thirty metres from the line.
Question 2 of 8 An empty expressway, late at night. Where are you?
Question 3 of 8 Somebody signals to merge in front of you.
Question 4 of 8 The car in the right lane is doing ten under the limit.
Question 5 of 8 You are late for dinner at the hawker centre.
Question 6 of 8 One parking space left, and another car is heading for it.
Question 7 of 8 Your indicator is...
Question 8 of 8 The car behind you is far too close.

The six kinds of driver

Five of them are the five kinds of traffic the game is built from, and the sixth is the one the game built a whole bonus mode about.

The Kiasu Tailgater

You are the reason the game has a whole mode about following distance. Tailgate Champion fills a Kiasu Meter every time you ride a bumper, and then the car in front brake-checks you. Try Tailgate Champion.

On a real road Leave three seconds of gap. Count it off a road marking: pass it three seconds after the car in front does.

The Rammer

In the game, a rammer waits until you come close, then comes for you: from ahead it brake-checks, from behind it floors it. Then it backs off and tries again. Meet them on level 6.

On a real road Road rage is never worth it. Let them go, and let the camera deal with them.

The Speeder

In the game, a speeder arrives from behind faster than you can go, and dives for whichever lane is clearest every second. They arrive on level 3.

On a real road In a car in Singapore, up to 20 km/h over the limit costs S$200 and 6 demerit points, and it only climbs from there.

The Drifter

In the game, a drifter slides across the lanes every couple of seconds with no signal, often straight at you, and follows you onto the shoulder. They start on level 1.

On a real road Signal first, check the blind spot, then move. In that order.

The Braker

In the game, a braker cruises along like everybody else, then for no reason drops to a fifth of its speed, brake lights blazing. They are on the CTE.

On a real road Brake early and smoothly. The car behind you is not reading your mind.

The Cruiser

In the game, a cruiser holds a steady speed and changes lane now and then. It is the one car on the road you can read, and it will save your run. Read the game like a cruiser.

On a real road Keep doing exactly this. The rest of the road is in the other five results.
