public class DriversEd
extends java.lang.Object

This class serves as the driver :) for the Drivers' Ed project found here. The only method (main) instantiates an Annex object to provide the City context before adding three Runnable StudentDriver objects (Curly, Larry & Moe) who display their driving skills as they navigate the Annex. Each StudentDriver constructor is supplied with,

1. the City context: an instance of the Annex class
2. a random (int) street between 0 and 2 inclusive
3. a random (int) avenue between 0 and 2 inclusive
4. a random initial direction
5. a random (int) amount of fuel, between 10 and 50 liters inclusive
6. a random (double) speed between 1.0 and 2.0 moves per second
7. their unique name (use Curly, Larry, and Moe)
8. an image file name for their icon (Curly:RedCar.gif, Larry:GreenCar.gif, Moe:BlueCar.gif)
