The first thing my driving instructor told me before even turning the ignition on for the first time was " you are now in charge of a deadly weapon, you might as well have a loaded gun in your hand as it can do just as much damage."

That was the first lesson he imparted to me and even after 20 years driving I still remember that.

I don't go to mythical places with strange men.
