Same here, never hurt anyone and I blame the deer for the one totaled
car. Anyone else in the world would have hit it in the same situation,
except maybe you, Lanny the automotive Superman. ;-)

I read a book by Bob Bondurant on performance driving at the age of 16
and he explained weight transfer, counter-steering, corner apex, and
just about everything else.
It seemed to me even at the time to be good information to teach to the
students, both in class and in the car.

Do you agree or not agree that more stringent driving instruction, such
as they have in Germany, would result in less vehicle accidents in the
United States?
