Have you heard of people buying a driver's license? • No skills or examination required. • This is indeed serious because they are turning their vehicles into killing machines. • Some schools are actually blasé about it, indicating to new applicants the option to buy their license instead of wasting their time taking the exam which “you will fail anyway.” • price for a “guaranteed” driving license is around RM1,500 to RM2,000 or more, depending on the applicant • If you don't pay the ‘undertable money’, you waste your money going for the tests, over and over again."
Theoretical Point Deontology • No corruption in order to prevent accident happen for ‘Kopi O’ licenses. Government must take action as well to make sure new drivers know the road safety. Virtue Ethic -Behave yourself while you’re driving -Good driver character

A pregnant South Carolina woman, Wilkerson pointed to the ocean, locked the doors and rolled up the windows, telling her three children she was "trying to take them to a better place" as she drove her minivan into the surf. • The children lowered the windows and yelled for help, the beach safety officer and rescuers immediately tried to pull the children(2 girls, 1 boy) through the windows. • Her children told the investigator that mom tried to kill them and mom is crazy. • The children told authorities they had come to Florida from South Carolina earlier in the week to escape their father. They described a history of violence between their parents, and they said their mother had been "acting crazy and speaking to Jesus”. • After that Wilkerson expressed that she’ve got to do it because she’s fear that her husband would be coming to Florida to harm her and her children.
Theoretical Point • Teleology - The mum didn’t care about what will happened if she drive her car into surf. She just do what she want to. Virtue Ethic -The mum is crazy and she’s trying to kill her child, she’s really unethical. -No respect at her children
