Iweyou...........you shouldn't have been driving. Personally I think
you deserve the hiding that you will get from your dad when he returns. Let it be a lesson. It takes time to learn how to drive properly. Just because you 'think' you'll pass the driving test, doesn't mean you've suddenly become Alonso, or Schumacher.

Crispin.......I think you're right. It won't work, but not because the system is bad (it works in Europe after all) it's because here the offenders will just pull strings and get out of trouble. So the only people off the roads will actually be the expats, unless the police force here actually enforce it on EVERYBODY; the way it's supposed to be done.
