I'm not sure which class of driver is appropriate for this, character driver or miscellaneous driver. It would be helpful, if I could get to know what are the difference between them and when to use what? At the moment, I'm proceding with character driver model and I don't find any problem as such. Hoping to get to know the differences between character and miscellaneous drivers. Have a nice time.
