Scoring time. Count how many times you answered a, b and c and check your results below:

Answered mostly a

You will not survive driving in Kuwait, I reccomend you take a taxi, bus or wanette depending on your budget.

Answered mostly b

You have some Kuwaiti driving skills. Driving in Kuwait is like playing a video game, the more you practice the better you will be. It is ok to eliminate your opponents but be careful, you only have 1 life and there is no "restart" button.

Answered mostly c

You are the king or queen of the road. The Schumacher brothers want you to give them driving lessons. When you get in your car, you are Batman in his batmobile, you are Michael Knight in his black trans am, you are crazy frog flying all over the city.
