A recent survey by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found nearly 80 percent of U.S. drivers admitted they had engaged in one or more aggressive behaviors behind the wheel over the past year.

Now’s your chance to ‘fess up.

This quiz – developed by the AAA Foundation – will help you see if you’re the kind of driver who punishes other drivers – by flashing your high beams, cursing other drivers, etc.

You can take the full AAA Foundation quiz – which also gauges your angry, impatient and competitive behavior while driving – here.
