Well, good to see Tonya has you figured out, old man... Interesting 
topic. If you are talking about driving skills for street application, 
the unfortunate part here is that the other 99% of us really don't know 
how to drive well. So learning how to dodge them would be good but they 
are the ones that will get you killed. If you are talking about 
motorsports driving skills well, yeah. But not many of us will ever 
venture onto a road course and I bet no diving school around can tell 
you about salt, lol... I woul dbe interested in hearing what you come up 
with in the nature of driving schools for codgers like us.
