Be a Wheel-man

Be a real man, be a wheel-man!

The start of Driver, (the old, old, old Driver), was the best start to any driving game.  You have to have a reason to be offered jobs as a driver of a gang that need to get away from the police.  You would have to learn and gain some in-game driving skills first, before the game would even offer you the position as get-away-driver. That makes sense doesn't it?
