Road grip levels have nothing to do with your car's 'mannerisms'. Also your car will behave very differently if one of your tyres rolled off the rim (for example).
|
That's why I only drive like that when I'm alone and there are no other cars on the road. If an accident happens, at least I won't take anyone with me.

Small studies in the USA have demonstrated that advanced driving courses when administered to drivers actually increased the accident rate. This was attributed to an inflated sense of invincibility. The whole atmosphere of ADCs is wrong. They are conducted on racetracks - this adds to sense that a driver who has successfully completed such a course is now a 'race driver' and more likely to behave recklessly on the roads.
|
That just comes down to how you view those advanced driving courses.
If they were viewed as educational and related to safety, then I don't think that it'll be a problem.
Americans are a "special" bunch.... If you do an advanced driving course and see it as improving your driving skills for driving fast, then of course you're gonna be more dangerous, but you were dangerous to start off with.
Being a redneck doesn't help either...

With regard to BAC, the answer is simple - BAC of 0.00 or immediate loss of licence. A licence is a privilege, not a right. In my opinion, drink driving (or any reckless, cretinous behaviour) forfeits that.
|
That's a bit harsh isn't it? What if you're taking medication that has alcohol content?
What if you just sniffed someone's perfume?
Sorry dude, but that's extreme enough to be considered Nazi-like.
I mean that in the nicest possible way of course.
