I think drivers should think about their car the same way as a gun. Without the proper precautions it's just as deadly. People bitch about people owning guns and then get into their car and fly through intersections talking on their cell phones. If everyone who drove respected their car as much as the average gun owner respects their gun the roads would be much safer.

Oh and the motorcycle safety course sounds like a good idea too Arz.

Actually PA has some excellent written teaching material and tests that do go into situational awarness extensively. I found them to be very well done. Unfortunately it's only provided to people that have won the right by accumulating enough points. ;)
