The list goes on and on, its all cause and effect. If people properly maintained their vehicles, I bet the accidents would decrease significantly or if people knew how to better control an automobile, accidents would go down. By the way, thanks for the soapbox opinion.

Ok - sorry about the sermon...
I think what you propose makes sense, but the problem is most motor vehicle services feel that upgrading their systems to a more modern educational program would cost too much. That's too bad.
I say that traffice school should involve some sort of autocross type course - the top 10% of the class passes - the rest stay until they can successfully navigate the course under a given time!
IF that were the case, I'd be looking for ways to get into traffice school!
