Better drivers?
"cpw" wrote: 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? The scariest driver I know is a commercial pilot and CFI. He speeds, cuts in and out of traffic and regards red lights as advisory only; I will not ride with him. He may have "improved driving skills," but he's a menace. Besides him, the pilots I know seem pretty average as drivers. -- Dan C172RG at BFM
