@i39g2000cwa.googlegroups.com:

I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death in the past. I am
wondering if there are any statistics on whether pilots are safer
(automobile) drivers than the general public. It has seemed to me that
my pilot training has improved my driving skills in several ways:
situational awareness, planning ahead, general safe driving practices,
etc. Anybody have any opinions (HAH!) in the group?

I know I am a better driver for the simple reason that I've been
riding a motorcycle for 20 years and am still in one piece.

But no, I don't fly.....yet.... I hope that I'll do well. I'm
a stickler for procedure and rules, but have no problem making
stuff up on the fly when necessary.

Brian
