d;o) Yes. Let us not venture into that hornet's nest.

Son's taking driver's ed, eh? Do him and his mom a favor and enroll
him in the Stevens Advanced Driver Training, aka Skid School. Their
site is www.msada.org. School is half day, typically 16 students
with four new Volvos. Cost is $300, with Mass Auto Dealers Assoc.
picking up $150.

They emphasize abs braking (and non-abs braking to those who want it),
car handling (starting with proper seating and hands positions),
emergency reaction, tailgating, and the dangers of backing-up. Great
school. I used to work for Stevens when he taught cops (VT, Md, MA)
and if I sponsor a kid, he will use me as a demonstrations driver for
the kids' parents.

I wonder what would happen if we sent all our right lane cruisers over
to you and you sent your left lane cruisers here?

Well he's had his license for a few months now, but we are real
ball-busters about driving correctly *and* wearing seatbelts.
I read about this course in the Globe's Automobile section one
week. According to the website's schedule notes, it's only open
to residents of certain Massachusetts towns listed, depending on
which session.
