Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Require Driving School? Yes or No?

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

I've seen cops drive and I've been to a cops driving school.  Good progam,
but not given frequently enough and the courses really aren't long enough,,
but they do help.  Doing a J turn is fun...
This was in Arizona, don't know about the rest of the country.

privileges earned with more proved competence, then add re-testing to allow
improvement in qualification OR downgrading when performance degrades.
