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

[Britt2Asa (Britt2Asa]

My dad always said that the reason getting a drivers license was so easy  (in 
my case in Florida for my first license but I now hold the UK as  well) was 
because the car manufacturers put political pressure on the states to  keep it 
easy. Lots of licenses means they can sell more cars and what is more  
American than buying a car?
 
It sounds a bit cynical but as I have gotten older I believe there must be  
some truth in that. Easy license means lots more drivers means lots more car  
sales.

PS- Don't kid yourself about power oversteer being limited to the higher  
level Ferraris. My 328 met its end that way and it snap spun so fast that you  
couldn't even think before it was a goner. That was a 50 mph on a greasy road!  
Another FOC member in my local area group did the same with his 328 at a track 
 day after all day of doing laps, just a little tiny mistake and he spun off 
into  the barriers. This guy races and was concentrating and he still didn't 
catch it  before the wall came up.
 
Be careful out there.....
 
 

Hey  Gang: Let's get serious here. Do you think that any car company would   
forgo the sale, and hefty profit from a high-performance vehicle   merely 
because 
the buyer hadn't attended a driving school? LMFAO! What  they  care about is 
the bottom line.  Period.
