Still more training would be benifitial You know why 'driver training' doesn't work well in the real world? It's because you never, ever have to do an emergency parallel park or an emergency reverse-around-a-corner-without-going-more-than-2- feet-from-the-kerb maneuver. Give drivers training in real world scenarios ("oh crap I went into this corner expecting dry road and the sprinklers are on" or "hmm that car just pulled into my lane and stopped, and I now have no room to brake"). Train them until they have learned the right reactions, so that the right response (brake, let off brake and steer, brake some more, whatever) is automatic. As it is most people have no idea whatsoever what to do if things go wrong. Anyone who makes the argument that "driver training will make drivers overconfident and cause more accidents" needs to be beaten to death with a spoon. If I had the choice of sharing the road with either cocky overconfident drivers, or cocky overconfident drivers who have the skills to back up at least some of that confidence, I'd choose the latter. I'd much rather have general traffic going 120km/h in a 100km/h zone and not dying than travelling at 90km/h in a 100km/h zone and dying anyway because they're all shit drivers.
