    What is so difficult about the concept of safe driving which is eluding the minds of so many drivers? And for what price? I really feel there is a need for psychological tests to be conducted before an individual is granted the right to drive on the road. Cars can be destructive if in the wrong hands, and while I can drive impecably for half an hour to impress my driving examiner, i could also go on to speed, drive rashly and bully people on the raod. What is sad is to see so many people losing their lives at the hands of imbecile drivers. Horrifying pictures of crushed cars and toppled trucks should be enough to instill fear in any average person's mind. yet, we continue to see accidents almost every day and cars with dents or scratches have become all too common a sight.
