    If only the government had stringent driving training for such drivers so they realised the danger of reckless driving. These are stupid uneducated idiots driving killing machines on the roads. Do we blame the snake that entered your house and bit you, or the rats that live in your house that called the snake or the mess in which you keep your place that made a ideal place for rats to breed.
