Re:Learn to drive. (Score 1)

I'm a big fan of motorsports and encouraging more people to get involved in advanced driver education, but I've seen research that disputes that this makes young drivers safer. What percentage of accidents, deadly and otherwise, could have been prevented simply by a driver who was able to recover from an oversteer slide? Probably not many. The vast majority are just due to people doing dumb things and I have to believe that giving kids the experience of tearing around Auto-X courses at speed only increases their feeling of invincibility on the road. Really you need a driver who is in control in all situations, but spends most of his time trying to keep things under the limit, rather than relying on his skills at the limit.
