Speed-freaks and reckless fools.

DRIVERS
Rushing adrenaline courses through your veins. Subtlety is for suckers and coin just
gets you through the day. In a city of scoundrels, even the criminals think you’re a
nuisance! Well, fuck ‘em all!

When you play Drivers, you earn xp by performing acts of reckless violence and
living on the edge.

Do you worry about collateral damage? Is there an understanding not to hurt the innocent?
