No matter what your score, look at the Suggestions for Improvement section for each area in which you checked a square or triangle. These are the areas in which you can improve the most.
| Score | Meaning |
| 0 to 15 | GO! You are aware of what is important to safe driving and are practicing what you know. See the Suggestions for Improvement in the following section of this booklet, to learn how to become an even safer driver. |
| 16 to 34 | CAUTION! You are engaging in some practices that need improvement to ensure safety. Look to the Suggestions for Improvement section to see how you might improve driving. |
| 35 and over | STOP! You are engaging in too many unsafe driving practices. You are a potential or actual hazard to yourself and others. Examine the areas where you checked squares or triangles. Read the Suggestions for Improvement section for ways to correct these problem areas. |
Your score is based on your answers to a limited number of important questions. For a complete evaluation of your driving ability, many more questions would be required, along with medical, physical, and licencing examinations. Nevertheless, your answers and score give some indication of how well you are doing and how you can become a safer driver.
In general, a checked square for an item reflects an unsafe practice or situation that should be changed immediately. A checked triangle means a practice or situation that is unsafe, or on its way to becoming unsafe, if nothing is done to improve it. Checking circles is a sign that you are doing what you should be doing to be (and remain) a safe driver.
Most of the square and triangle answers represent practices or situations that can be improved by most drivers. The following pages contain Suggestions for Improvement, divided into each of the 15 areas. You should review all of them but you will want to focus on those for which you checked squares or triangles.
