Default Flight training before learning to drive?

I am of the opinion that kids learn to "drive" long before they take
the wheel. Those that don't spend all their time in the vehicle
playing video games, etc., anyway. They learn to endure and ignore G-
forces.


I actually agree... and then some.

This is a bit OT but... there's an automotive discussion board I frequent and from time to time
someone will post that their kid just started driving and they're concerned about unsafe things the
kid is doing - speeding up for yellow lights, ignoring stop signs, etc. I tell them what they need
to do is get a "wayback machine", go back about 15 years to when junior began observing *them* doing
those things, and cut it out!
