Gorilla

 

That hoary old joke which asks "Where does a 500lb gorilla sleep?" and answers - "Wherever it wants!" - perfectly describes the first impression made by these giants of the jungle. They may not be the fastest beasts but their strength and power means they have no equal.

 

It is the same with drivers who come into this category - their aim is to dominate the road - if not by the size and power of their vehicle then by the assertive way in which it is driven.

 

As a Gorilla you must take charge of the road, never allowing yourself to be bullied by other motorists and to seize every opportunity to use your muscle to get ahead of the rest.

 

A nationwide UK survey by Dunlop found almost a third of motorists (31%) come into this category with the highest proportion being among younger drivers - almost four out of ten (39%) were under 25 compared to just one in six (16%) of those aged 55 and older.  They were more likely to be men than women, to be passionate about driving and to do so frequently on both business and pleasure.

 

Your Strengths:

You are a very confident and assertive driver who excels in heavy urban traffic where it is important to seize every opportunity.

 

Your Weak Points:

You are not sufficiently aware of or sensitive to the effect of your driving style on other road users.

 

Routes you relish:

A frequently used, busy urban/suburban A road where every nuance and overtaking point is known intimately.
