CALIFORNIA UNVEILS DRIVERLESS CAR LAWS - SAYS IT MUST HAVE HUMAN DRIVER BEHIND THE WHEELS AT ALL TIME.

California's Department of Motor Vehicles has unveiled draft regulations that would govern how consumers get access to self-driving cars — once they are ready for the public to use them safely.

As per the latest set of proposed regulations, the California Department of Motor Vehicles says that self-driving automobiles must have a licensed driver present in the vehicle at all times.

Self-driving cars would also need a human behind the wheel with an "autonomous vehicle operator certificate" in case of a mechanical malfunction.

Firstly, manufacturers must certify that their autonomous cars comply with safety and performance standards and must allow the vehicles to undergo an independent performance verification carried out by a third-party.

A DUMB DRIVER FINDS HIS WAY HOME IN THE RIVER (VIDEO)

Whether he's going to make it or not, that's what others who fear for their dear lives were contemplating in their minds as this guy took an uncalculated risk, made an unreasonable decision to drive through a flooded road without any assessment of the situation on the ground.  Check out tips on how to drive on a flooded road. Enjoy the video.
   


Well, as you can see, he chose to be the smart driver who has something more important to do than others. Indeed, he has an important appointment to meet which is apparently more important than his life. Whether this important appointment is going to wait or not, it remains to be seen, but live continues as he finds his way home in the river.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT DRINK AND DRIVE.

                                  Writes on the reasons why you should not Drink and Drive.

Driving under the influence is never worth the risk to yourself, to your future and to those you could injure or kill.

On average it takes around one hour for the body to break down one unit of alcohol, meaning it could take as long as 12 hours for the alcohol from four pints of higher strength beer (or four large glasses of wine) to leave your system.

Research suggests drivers are unaware of the dangers, with a third (33%) of people surveyed mistakenly think that drinking water would make them safer to drive, along with sleeping (28%) and eating a large meal (21%).
