I DD'd a 66 Mustang for years. I lived, how does MOM feel about the kids driving cars without bubble wrap?

In reply to californiamilleghia :
I'm not aware of a website. I do know that the driver instructors at our driver schools are the same people all the time. Our driver schools are a week long and are very rigorous, many people fail out.
some of our instructors who have retired have opened their own personal driver's ed businesses.
in addition to my B-I-L's lists we have some similar and some different.
mer have a 10 point commentary that helps us to get the big picture (tree line to tree line) avoid bill boards (they create blind spots) look left right left and do it again at every intersection (an intersection is not just a road crossing a road. It is a parking lot and driveway, etc) parking break at every red light, 1 vehicle length of space at every red light (leaves yourself an out), light turns green count 1,2,3 and clear intersection by looking left right left before proceeding, triangle check (left curb, left mirror, in front, speed, right curb, right mirror) every 5 sec, minimize backs and never ever back as the first thing you do after starting the truck, driver's side backs only, clear an area before backing (overhanging wires, branches, and eves), never pull into a parking space, maintain a cushion of space all the way around you.
these are several more. These are just a few.
I know some here have said that the idea that these methods can prevent crashes is stupid but reality, science, and facts bear them out. UPS proudly claims to be one of the safest delivery companies out there when it comes to on road safety and crashes. Do they happen? Yes. However we have them happen at a much lower percentage rate than they should considering all the miles we drive every day.
This one looks pretty good:
Its a V8 coupe, but an automatic. Bidding is currently only $7000
