Harold Smith created this in the late 1940s, long before seat belts were a thing.

This is not some recent development in driver education. First attempted teaching new drivers, but quickly realized they didn't have the seasoned skills to effectively implement the Keys. Then in 1952 he began training trucking companies and many other types of drivers.

It's not for beginners. And seasoned drivers need to really practice this to do it properly.
I've seen folks have a really hard time with timing and smoothness. A lot of my classes were Refresher events. Some folks simply do not have the talent and others just don't care.

And yes, bad drivers will have the same types of collisions and wonder "why me"?
