    You may have never seen, used, or owned a car in your life, but if you have
    decent credit you are probably able to go buy or lease one. Once you do buy
    one, you are required to be insured against damages that might result from
    your negligence or accidents you cause (or suffer) with that car. Prior to taking
    that car out onto public roads where you could kill, maim, or damage other
    people's cars and property you are required to take a proficiency test. If you
    are caught breaking the rules of how you are to operate your car, you may
    have your right to use it revoked, or the car itself confiscated. Your use of the
    car is YOUR responsibility but society has effectively determined that most
    people DO NOT DISCHARGE THAT RESPONSIBILITY WELL and has placed
    controls around use of cars.
