(Mostly As) You are Dominic Toretto from The Fast & The Furious. Rules just don’t apply when you’re trying to keep one step ahead of the law – and the odd killer or two. You love cars; whether racing them or crashing them into things…

(Mostly Bs) You are chauffeur Hoke Colburn in Driving Miss Daisy. You love your classic cars too much to ever do anything to damage them. Besides, when your eagle-eyed, bossy-boots employer is in the back seat, it’s pretty hard to relax…

(Mostly Cs) You are Annie Porter in Speed. You’re living in the fast lane – but it just might blow up in your face at any minute. It’s pedal to the metal all the way with you (and those hanging on for dear life)!
