    This is the advice to all who are over confident in driving. The vehicle have more power than man so please don't go to play with vehicle. when driving keep your control in break and gear some times you can't control the vehicle with break, in that cases you can control by gear. Otherwise same will happen you loose your life and you will take others life.
