Most people don’t brake hard enough. That’s a skill that’s best learned by going to an accident avoidance or winter driving school. People buy fast, expensive cars and expect the car’s traction and stability controls to keep them safe. Driving schools teach you the minimum needed to get your license. What saves your life is learning to read the road, anticipate and recognize potential dangers, know your own limits and use skills of accident avoidance.
