Default Better drivers?

You can't make that conclusion or assumption.

The only valid test of pilots making better drivers is to look at some means
of putting pilots through drivings tests vs non-pilots. Looking at the
statistics of drivers involved in auto accidents to see if there is a
statistical diffence between pilots/non-pilots would be relevant but not
conclusive.
