I'd have to agree - but I would also add that the safest driver's I know also ride motorcylces. Not that there aren't crotch jockeys out there - but if you
RIDE - you quickly learn to be safe.
You don't take road conditions for granted. You don't take a right just because the oncoming car is a lane over. You never assume anyone is stopping at a light, stop sign, or intersection. You are
constantly aware of every car around you at all times. You always know where your "out" is for any given situation - and you
never put yourself in a position where you don't have an "out". And, you always assume that the drivers around you are idiots who will act in an completely irrational and unpredictable manner.
It may not teach you to handle a car - but it will make you a safer driver.
