As part of getting my driver&#x27;s license you have to spend half a day at a class on driving risks, you get to spend some time driving in really slippery conditions, getting the feel for ABS and traction control.<p>They also showed some actual wrecks so you could see what happens and how they break, and they really stressed that even though it might be tempting to buy a cheap, old, used car, DO NOT buy something built before the year 2000, stay on this side of the millennium, older cars are dangerous!
