[s-cars] Teen cars Mine vs UrS4 .. Who wins?

 Agreed... any motorized training is good... snowmobiles, dirtbikes, go-karts, golf carts, quads, even small powerboats.  They each give you a respect for motorized capabilities and an awareness that each one is unique.

Again... I'll sit in the passenger seat with a great driver in a crappy car long before sitting in a great car with a crappy driver, thank you very much.

Sending kids off to a winter driving school is great addition to 1:1
training.  I've seen some 16 year old folk at "Bridgestone Winter driving
school" get some valuable time in a safe environment prior to heading into
the Colorado mountain passes.

Once they have some experience bring them to Gruppe-Q so that they can crash
their/mum/dad's Audi into a snowbank with the best of us. ;-)

My 12 year old son just started the mandatory "Driving the pickup in a
field" training a couple of weeks back.  Been getting some snowmobile
"exercise" in also, quite remarkable what a sled can teach you about
watching the surface and tracking other moving objects.

 Sorry... but I have to admit being humored when this topic comes up... as
it regularly does.  "What is the safest tank I can put my kid in?"

At the end of the day, I think this is still the wrong question.  The real
question should be how to adequately train the young driver.  Prevent the
accident rather than planning for its eventuality.
