And to use training as the yardstick isn't fair either. Driver's Ed
doesn't
include map reading skills, lost procedure skills, or anything else that
has to do with navigation.

That's because you can pull over. In a plane, you can't. But point made.


But they don't teach you When to pull over and common sense isn't really all
that common.


Emergency procedures do not get practiced. We are told to "steer into a
skid" but we never practice it.

I wonder if it would make a difference. Neutral question.


Tons, I did some autocrossing when I was in my early 20s. Before that I
thought I was a fairly good driver. After that I was a fairly good driver.


No (formal) mention of weather is included in Drivers Ed. Particularly,
there is nothing taught about ice and fog.

I don't see anything hazardous that is not obvious. The same is not true
in aviation. We are held away from death by nothing but a blast of air.


Again common sense isn't that common. Just look at what happens in most
places, even those where the hazard happens often (like snow in the North)
when the hazard develops.
