Well now, I wouldn’t claim any specialist knowledge about how to measure these things, but if pressed, I would probably say that the extra training I did way back then did and has helped me a bit anyway, to be safer. If 40 odd years and 1.6M miles of driving since, in all manner of vehicles, weather conditions and countries without hitting anything at all other than one loose kerbstone in Herne Bay 7 years ago is anything to go by. ;-)
Surely none of you are seriously saying that training someone to be safer and better is a negative thing? Taken to a preposterous extreme, that theory would support dumbing down driver training and testing wouldn’t it?
The skills I learned on that skid pan all those years ago have come in very handy on rare, but entirely pertinent occasions more than once.
