Another crash.... more sad outcomes.Too many unskilled drivers on our roads.We need regular driver testing by qualified and properly skilled testers. No pass No drive.Not fair you say? Well too bad. Our roads are crowded with unskilled fathers, mothers, sons, daughters who are driving vehicles they are incapable of controlling correctly.You cant argue with the facts!!People behind the wheel are causing crashes!
