Maybe this is germane:
I used to race and believed that if I had the means to send my kids to one of the racing schools like Skip Barber or Bob Bondurant, their chances of survival on the street would be increased because they would know more about car handling, evasive driving and skillful manuvering. Then I came across some statistics complied by insurance companies that surprised me. Insurers tracked the driving record of teenagers who attended performance driving schools...and discovered they had a higher accident rate than others! Turns out the kids wanted to exercise their newfound skills and put themselves in peril more frequently than the average driver. They had increased their skills...but not their judgement. Maybe it is not in a teenager's chemical composition to be able to weigh the outcome against showing off to peers.
