Hundreds of people drive without a license

Eleven people have died on Czech roads in the course of the past four days alone. The traffic police attribute the high death toll to aggressive driving and the fact that hundreds of Czechs allegedly drive without a license. According to the Mladá fronta Dnes daily, in the first three months of this year the police caught over 3,000 drivers without a license, many of whom had never gone to driving school or passed a drivers test. This practice is said to be particularly widespread in the country, where the chances of being stopped by the traffic police are relatively slim.
