Most car drivers (in fact all drivers bar those who obtained their 
licenses prior to 1957 and a significant period prior to that with the 
exception of the period 24/11/1956 - 15/4/1957 when the Suez crisis lead 
to the suspension of testing) have been subject to the driving test and 
can only drive unsupervised if they have passed the test.

Most drivers keep to a reasonable level of safety.
