However, drivers in Scotland - where the limit has recently been lowered - scored the highest on their knowledge of drink driving limits.
Disturbingly - but perhaps unsurprisingly - those that have been driving for 1-6 months are the least roadworthy and scored the lowest out of everyone who used the tool - with those who have been driving 20+ years the most roadworthy.
