Driving isn't rocket science, but these ten test questions suggest the intelligence level of dead sheep.
10.) Driftmachines
The thing is, there is no general rule here. If you have ABS (as just about every car on the road does today), you shouldn't pump the pedal. If you don't have ABS, you should avoid hard braking if you can. The answer is get to know your car first.

5.) Carmageddon
TheCraigy doesn't recommend manslaughter:

1.) Sons of Anarchy
This one came from pre-mandatory helmet law times in California. west-coaster:
Q: You should always wear a helmet when you ride because:
A: It will keep your head warm.
B: It identifies you as a motorcyclist.
C: It will protect your head in the event of a crash.
