Think about it, in a plane your flying for a passion, in a car you're
driving to get somewhere. That's one reason accidents happen. Another, in
a
plane we are thoroughly, very thoroughly trained, as to in a car you
receive
just 3 or 4 hours of formal driving training. Scary aint it.

Actually, I had a driving instructor who was telling us the opposite.
It was something like 36 hours in the car for driving school way back
when I "learned to drive". I had already been driving a lot with my
parents.

In that light, assuming it is still the same, it may be less time to
get a sport pilot certificate depending on the individual.

You have to ride a motorcycle to find out how many are really
out to get you.
