It's terrifying - the little requirements there are for such a big responsibility. We allow children behind the wheel, inexperienced, immature teenagers! It's a crazy world we live in, with some even crazier people making the rules and regulations.

Basoene Jack, that the other side of human beings, knowing the right thing to do but can't just do it, most of young drivers are the most culprits of breaking driving rules
