    These agents in nexus with traffic officials issue licence to such idiots without proper test. Is is very clear that that woman cannot drive, she should be tried for first homicide, put behind bars for life. A child lost his father, a family lost it's bread earner. Who cares, that murderer will get bail.

    This is like keeping mobile in the fridge instead of vegetables. When on road women need to drive carefully and men should drive more carefully.
