first quiz of mine to get 100 takes!

Ah, I got confused, I thought we had to pick the right one from every row, oops. Nice concept!

Level 27

Dec 10, 2025

thanks!

Half of these things require you to have a spare tire. You never stated that you have a spare tire. Otherwise great quiz

Level 27

Dec 10, 2025

i will add that you have tools and a spare tire in the caveat

Level 62

Dec 10, 2025

Thanks, I was a little confused because no one in my family ever carries a spare tire in any of our cars. The only one with a spare is in a RV that we never use.

Level 27

Dec 10, 2025

oh dang really? should definitely get one in there. most cars have a space for a spare tire, like under the trunk carpet, underside of the car, or on the trunk door

I was *this close* to surviving my flat tire, until I attempted to overinflate the other three at the last moment and was suddenly dead.

Great quiz!

hahaha yeah i messed up a couple times when i was previewing it. glad you like it! i’ll have to put out some more, this quiz has already generated more takes in a few hours than most of my other quizzes do in months

What if you had like two whammies or something? Maybe not though because some of these you would be done after one of them.

Level 27

Dec 10, 2025

could you elaborate on the second part? also i kind of liked having one whammy, since most of these mistakes if made in a real scenario, would be a critical failure in the situation

Level 15

Dec 10, 2025

"panic"

Level 79

Dec 11, 2025

That’s exactly what I meant by the second part

Level 27

Dec 11, 2025

ah ok. so are you saying an answer like this might not be the right thing to do, but it also doesn’t really make sense that it would end the quiz?

Level 79

Dec 11, 2025

Yeah basically

Level 27

Dec 11, 2025

ah i see. i'll make sure to be a little less ambiguous with the answers in #2, thanks!

Level 79

Dec 11, 2025

I definitely don’t think it requires more than one. Every single one of these is common sense if you’ve ever owned (or even driven, really) a car

holy- Jeremy??? wow, thanks for the feedback :D

I lost fairly quickly, mainly because in the UK we are told to evacuate the vehicle asap, obviously contrary to US advice.

We are told that if you remain in the car on the shoulder your life expectancy drops to about 15 minutes!

UK motorways are much much busier than the majority of Interstates.

Great idea for a quiz though.

Level 27

Dec 11, 2025

interesting! i put "interstate freeway" in hopes that that implies you're in the US, did that come across or should i update the caveat

Level 81

Dec 12, 2025

Possibly, although in my case I didn't realise the US has different advice. Seems strange that you wouldn't get out of the car when there's a chance of being ploughed into by an 18 wheeler.

Level 27

Dec 12, 2025

well i mean if you have room on the shoulder to pull over and stop safely then any accident would be the other driver’s fault

Level 62

Dec 11, 2025

I love these great, simple quiz ideas that make me think "why didn't I think of that?" I'm sure this opens up the door to a lot more, and of course they are useful too.

It also reminds me of Lamont Lugnut, one of the computer-controlled racing car drivers in Pitstop II for the Commodore 64.

was seriously thinking about deflating my other tires for 0.2 seconds, hopefully thats not the part i remember from this quiz if this ever happens
