If you remove the off-road and change rider to driver, this describes about 95% of all car drivers on the road as far as I'm concerned! :SElle wrote:Level 1 – Unconsciously Incompetent
This is the rider who doesn’t have a clue - he doesn’t know what he’s doing and doesn’t even know that he doesn’t know. His off-road motor skills are totally dormant.
what type of off-road rider are you?

I'll say 1 because I might not be very good at it but I don't know.
Re: what type of off-road rider are you?
I would go so far as to say >99% of car drivers. It's probably only one in twenty times I go out that I see someone driving and think; "wow, that was good observation and courteous driving, that person really knows what they're doing."OB1 wrote:If you remove the off-road and change rider to driver, this describes about 95% of all car drivers on the road as far as I'm concerned! :SElle wrote:Level 1 – Unconsciously Incompetent

I was following a police car the other day and the guy was rubbish. Didn't know how to indicate on roundabouts (he was trying, just doing it wrong), bottomed out the car on a speed bump he didn't notice until the last minute. Did a "three point turn" with two more points than he needed to. Etc.
I appreciate (or at least hope) he almost certainly wasn't a "traffic cop", but if you have blue lights on your car at all, you should be better than Joe Public and I'd have rated this guy in the bottom 25%. The way the guy drove, I would have had a very hard time biting my tongue if he had pulled me for some minor infraction.
