233. Driver
A driver is a person who controls and operates a vehicle or, in some traffic-law systems, guides certain animals or animal-drawn traffic on a road. Drivers can include people operating cars, motorcycles, buses, trucks, bicycles and other vehicles, depending on the legal definitions used in each country.
A driver is responsible for controlling the vehicle safely, observing traffic rules and responding appropriately to other road users and road conditions. The exact legal duties and qualifications required depend on the type of vehicle and the country.
