Got this from medpundit,

Modern Driving Lessons: Driving lessons aren't what they were when I was in high school. These days, they include Evasive maneuvers: One of the main lessons of the driving courses is to train the driver's eyes -- through repeated skill drills -- to automatically look in the direction the car needs to go rather than looking at the danger. In the MasterDrive course, lights are used to simulate a drunken driver veering out of a lane into the driver's path. Initially, most drivers slam on their brakes and steer directly into the oncoming car -- some of them even close their eyes and let go of the steering wheel. By repeating the simulation over and over, the driver learns to look and steer toward an open area to escape the oncoming car. Driving Dynamics participants spend part of the course behind the wheel of a patented 'slide' car. An instructor sits in the passenger seat with a control box that sends the car into a skid. Initially it's unnerving and even scary, but with instruction and encouragement, the driver quickly learns how to regain control of the car. We just watched a lot of scary accident movies.

While reading this, I thought that perhaps we should just be really instilling basic driving skills for Malaysians. Just the other day, I noticed that someone had knocked into my car sheering the mudguard off the rear tire and leaving an ugly scratch mark in the vicinity of the back tyre. My car was well within its space in this parking lot and yet this driver, who obviously had little skill in parking, bumped into mine despite the ample space around him/her.

It is amazing how incompetent some drivers can be. I am just wondering if we should reevaluate the examination system for our aspiring drivers. I am still fuming as to how a driver can be so inept in handling a car. Perhaps we should re-examine drivers every 5-10 years before reissuing their driver's license!
