Default Driver Ed?

I thought something that could be useful to younger, more inexperienced drivers and members of the forums, would be a drivers education section in the forums or write ups in the tech session. I think some could really benefit from write ups on thing taught at advanced driver days like seating positions, the correct way to turn the wheel without crossing arms, correcting oversteer, racing lines, shifting techniques, emergancy braking, driving exercises etc.

Another probably useless donno thought :rolleyes:

It does sound like a good idea, but it'd have to be done carefully. I can think of nothing worse than someone printing a page off here, then trying to enact it on the roads.

Its a good idea but really it should be left to professionals to do the teaching. I learnt a lot at the courses however I do not consider myself someone who could teach others now.

Yeah, I kinda shelved the thought after considering what people might do when not supervised by someone in the know.
