I only mentioned it earlier because of my own experience at that age. I was Mr. Responsible for the most part, but when driving around on my own I would occasionally drive outside my skill level... fortunately I didn't get hurt. That's why my kids will have better training, in addition to the requisite coaching/understanding about how they shouldn't be doing it in the first place, etc... |
Good point in part. I certainly would never recommend AGAINST good behind the wheel car control triaining, but I'd rather see someone with no formal training and some common sense behind the wheel of an STi, than a loose nut who thinks he's invincible because he doesn't hit cones at autocross. Proper training is an asset to a responsible driver, and quite potentially a liability in someone with poor judgement and a fast car.
