That's how it works in most European countries. Teach us how to speed, and most of us won't or will at least survive it. Except that numerous short trials conducted have shown that advanced driving courses for young drivers actually increases accident rates (they didn't study death rates as it is statistically too rare an event). It is presumed that instead of learning to drive defensively, they actually were filled with a sense of invincibility, and drove more aggressively, resulting in more accidents. Remember that 18 -25 year old group have a higher accident rate than even the >75 yo group (a group of people that have accidents due to failing systems - vision, hearing, cognition, processing), so experience counts for even more than looking and hearing. Unfortunately, experience can't be bottled into a flashy (but fun) 6 hour course. It takes years. [Report message to a moderator]
