I agree that being in an accident changed your views... not long ago my idiot friend who isnt the best driver decided to try some fishtailing on a gravel road... He of course couldn't controll that lovely pendulum effect and ran us through a nice think fence pole and up onto two wheels. Not only did it scare the whits out of us, he has had to pay around $1000 replacing panels and respraying on a car that was only worth $2k(still paying off the loan too). In his situation I don't believe training would have helped as he would have probably done it at 100kmh instead of 80 thinking he was better, allthough education on what could have happened before he went and did it might have made him think twice.
I jsut got my P's and theres nothing like kicking out the nagging mother and goin for a hoon. But personally id rather find a nice big open deserted gravel patch and do some handbrakies. Or letting out my desire for speed on Gran Turismo or an arcade simulator. Heh, i know i can't get myself out of a sticky situation, hence i choose not to intentionally cause one.
