Why do you need a valid driver’s license? Why can’t you drive without one?

Drive safely

Do I genuinely need a driving license? Why not buy one?

Today, Avant Garde Driving School, the driving school in Pretoria, discusses the value of a valid K53 driver’s license.

Why do I need a driving license?

Have you ever watched a James Bond movie? Then you would know he needed a license to kill!

When you drive on a public road, you not only hold a steering wheel in your hand. You also have the lives of many other people in your hands.

Don’t you believe me?

When you cause an accident, you create a loss for someone else. If the accident is severe, the loss can be a life. That is murder!

A true experience.

A learner driver prepared to pass his driving test a few years ago. His parents forbade him from driving on his own before passing the test. Being young and daring, the learner decided he could not see why he could not drive independently. The day before his test, the learner decided he might as well take his father’s car to the shop, seeing that he would have his license the following day. 

On his way back from the shop, he had enough self-confidence and exceeded the speed limit. Another driver cut in front of the learner, who got frightened, lost control and went over the island in the middle of the road. The learner crashed into the oncoming car.

The driver in the oncoming car died instantly! 

What do you think happened to the learner driver?

The result of an accident.

The learner driver committed manslaughter and had to face the consequences, which was not pleasant. Jail time was bad enough. What made it worse was that the driver who died in the other vehicle was the learner’s best friend. The learner driver also had the death of his friend on his conscience.

The value of a valid driving license.

A license is proof of your capability to do something. A driver’s license proves you can drive safely and responsibly.

When you have a valid driver’s license and create an accident causing the death of somebody, the court will say it was an accident unless there is proof of negligent driving. When you do not possess a valid driver’s license, the court will say it was manslaughter and will judge you accordingly. 

Some good advice to abide by.

The best decision you can make when considering the trouble of obtaining a valid driving license will be to pass the driver’s test legally. You do not want to go to jail for fraud or manslaughter. The trouble will be worthwhile.
