Yeah, I really don't want anybody to die. If another SUV hits you, do you want to be in:
1) another SUV
2) a miata

Anyway, I'm sorry if I wrote that in a way which was unclear. I've taken precision handling courses to make myself a better driver. I think something similar should be required for ALL U.S. drivers. Driver's Ed is a joke. My instruction consisted of sitting in a classroom learning to identify the difference between a STOP and YIELD sign. Then, my instructor has me drive through Atlanta rush-hour traffic to a darkened parking lot. At that time, I probably had about 1 hour behind the wheel. When we arrived, he exchanged cash with a provocatively-dressed woman for a brown paper bag, and then we drove back.

Coincidentally, I find that driving in heavy Atlanta traffic seems to be safer than driving in milder traffic in many other towns (Chattanooga, Knoxville, Athens, Jacksonville, etc. etc.) The drivers are much less likely to cut you off without looking, take a left turn out of the right lane, etc.
