So this is a little scary

Agreed.

Most people on the road have no idea what to do once they start to lose traction. I wonder how many accidents could be avoided if they actually had a clue. I've seen a few videos of drivers overcorrecting and turning a recoverable car into a rollover accident in no time. Then there's all the times on my commute that I've hit some traffic, looked in the rear view, and saw a giant plume of tire smoke from someone who locked 'em up.

All it takes is a little practice in a wet parking lot. Combine that with some dirt road stuff and you're golden. As a teen I went off the road at over 90mph in the Mustang. That little bit of experience I had saved my life (and allowed me to learn a very important lesson). 

Its the law here, gotta take a 2 week course Fri-Sun for 2 weeks and 6 hours of instructor driving before you can attempt to get your license

Drivers training is a joke in the US. I really wish there was more to it, like the Finnish method.

I have a kid whos just starting training this year. I already have a "performance" driving course in mind for him. Could save his life AND my insurance rates too!

There is a lot more to driving a car than 99% of drivers know. EVERYONE should know basic handleing principles. Differences between 4x4, RWD, FWD, AWD (front and read biased) are lost on most people. Mention things like "lift-off" or "power on" and under/over-steer you get

i have Rear Axel leveling bags for when i haul real heavy loads to keep it level, just hauling things aound in the bed ( tools,welder,ect.) hasnt affected or dropped the rear past level anyway, if anything does i have the bags to level it back, the cost of the leveling kit was $289 then you also realigned the front end.

I have bags on my Chevy HD2500 Duramax/Allison. I highly recomment them for haulers.
