Patting myself on the back, I think that is true. Both flying and
maneuvering ships (with no brakes in either case) requires constant
evaluation of your surroundings and doing a lot of predicting. I'm watching
everyone, in both directions, and always have an evasion plan. Can't trust
anyone these days.

I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death in the past. I am
wondering if there are any statistics on whether pilots are safer
(automobile) drivers than the general public. It has seemed to me that
my pilot training has improved my driving skills in several ways:
situational awareness, planning ahead, general safe driving practices,
etc. Anybody have any opinions (HAH!) in the group?
