What instance? Since there is no .newInstance() here, this can be

.newInstance()?
From memory, some drivers do not register in a static initializer but
in the constructor. I don't believe this is compliant behaviour but if
you want something to work ...
Many applications will be choosing the Driver dynamically so something like:
Class.forName(System.getProperty("driver")).newInstance()
is most likely to work.
