Great idea. Driving is a full time deal. Once you get in a car driving is what you need to do. Of course everyone will act differently in different scenarios without some kind of training. When I was in High School a guy wrecked his perfect 67 Mustang because the trunk lid popped open. I've had a car, a Ford, that shut off while I was doing 55 mph . I did not wreck the car, I pulled off onto the shoulder. Then last night while I was driving to a service call I was on a very curvy road with the company Caravan. I thought " What would happen if the van shut off or I lost power steering. " I was thinking about it so I probably would have been okay if something did happen. A curvy road could be different than a straight highway where my almost new Ford died. I was told over thirty years ago by a Buick dealer not to hang a lot of junk on the ignition switch after having the switch replaced.

Yes, I think GM screwed up.
