Nothing beats experience like driving and braking at the max in a parking lot, except maybe doing the same thing in a dirt field. My father taught me to drive in the summer time in a block square vacant field across the street from our house. That winter we went to an empty supermarket parking lot and did much the same thing. You don't know how your car is going to handle in those situations unless you experience them first hand.

Good for you Steve, and congrats to your daughter. She will be a better and safer driver for the experience. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
