The first occurred in Ibrahim Al Midfa road, police said. A traffic police investigator said that the man was teaching his 36-year-old wife how to drive in the car, which is not designed as a motor-driving school vehicle. The wife failed to control the vehicle, as a result, it jumped fast and the man fell under its tyres.

He sustained serious injuries and died on his way to the Kuwait Hospital. Police said people should abide by rules and not resort to teaching others how to drive in normal cars that are not equipped for the purpose.

A 19-year-old national youth died after his car hit the pavement and palm trees on Al Zahra road. Police said that the youth was driving at a high speed when he lost control of the vehicle, veered towards the pavement and rammed it into some nearby palm trees. The motorist died on the spot.
| Now that sounds like ten thousand places in America. Youth, beer and speed, a lethal combo. |
