I took my kids out in bad weather ( snowing ) in isolated areas and asked t=
hem to slam on the brakes and spin the tires and spin the steering wheel.  =
So they got used to how it feels.

I pointed out to them how you can 'read' other drivers and guess when they =
are going to make an announced move.  I told them that their job was to mak=
e moves that other drivers could see coming.  I said it was selfish to use =
turn signals and such since the driver is really trying to preserve their o=
wn life.

I would be interested in how other PIClisters teach driving.
