Actually, No.
Drivers training is utterly useless. What do they teach you? This pedal makes the car go, this pedal makes the car stop. Yeah, we've known that since we were 3, right guys. I already knew how to drive (better than most Californians) by age 13 or so, and during the drivers training, all we did was chat, no instruction at all.
They need classes on getting to know the limits of your car, skid correction, cornering on wet surfaces, accident avoidance, what not to do when you have ABS, etc, things most new drivers would have no idea about. And the DMV License test, boy that was a joke. I never hit above 35 mph, all residential and suburban driving, within a 1/2 mi radius of the DMV max. No parallel parking, no freeway driving, not even busy streets! I mean, c'mon, the license test should be at least 2 hrs or so in a huge variety of settings.
