Which car safety system are you?

It's a simple question, if you were a car safety system, which one would you be? And no, you're not a Carrie or a Samantha....

Forget your "Which Sex in the City character are you?" quiz, we all know you want to be Carrie or Samantha... The more important question is which car safety system are you? Why? Well, car safety systems have come a long way since the invention of the seatbelt and just like the characters from the famed '90s TV series, have distinct attributes which are relatable on a deep and meaningful level. So, which one are you?

Lane Keep Assist

You’re direct, know what you want and tend to be the team leader who always has a plan. Great with directions and are mostly reliable. While sometimes a bit strong-willed with your decisions, everyone knows that you’ve got their best interest at heart.

Forward Collision Warning

You’re loud and are full of energy but are very cautious in your approach to everyday decisions and life. You're most likely to yell out things like "THERE'S A SPIDER ON YOU" or "WATCH OUT FOR THE DOG POO". Zero to 100 in a flash.

Fatigue monitoring system

You love coffee and would totally have six a day if the doctor didn’t say that the high levels of caffeine were bad for you. When others around you start to feel tired, you’re the first to suggest going down to the café for a brew. You also have a fridge full of RedBulls at the ready.

You know everything that is going on in all parts of your world. You love following the latest news and have alerts set up on your phone to ensure you've got your finger on the pulse. And you’re always the one to know the hot gossip first.

You’re the chill friend who tends to be a little quieter than the rest of the crew but every now and then you step in with some important facts or point of view. Everyone knows that you've got their back.

You’re absolutely useless during daylight hours but you really come alive at night. Forever the night owl, you love going out to bars and clubs or just enjoy spending the late hours of the night staring up at the stars. When morning comes around though, you’re out like a light until sunset again.

Adaptive cruise control

You're a bit of a sheep and feel most at ease when following the trends of the crowd. You'd rather follow than lead because you know while it may be a bit slower, it's probably the safest.

Speed limiter

You are a chronic rule follower. You like to stay well within the bounds of the law and love to let everybody know about it. Your family and friends choose not to play board games with you as they know that you do not deviate from the rulebook.
