Heck, my brother just turned 54 and asks why I've never let him drive any of my Cobras. My response, "because I love you too much".

Bill, do you really think that a few days spent at a HPDS will instill good judgement in an 18 year old? Do you really think that those few days at the school will ingrain the kind of reflex action that are required when one finds oneself in an unexpected "situation"?
I don't.
I think those driving schools install a false sense of security in their students. I think it takes years of practicing what they teach before the benefits of attending are realized.
Kind of like a guy taking karate lessons for three days and then heading out to the local bar spoiling for a fight.
