I agree wholeheartedly. At 21 I was driving a brand new Alfa Romeo 156
2.0 TSpark. About a month after getting it, it snowed and I didn't have
the experience or knowledge to know how to cope - ended up writing it
off. I now feel fairly strongly that I should have gone for some more
advanced training before getting behind the wheel. It might have saved
me from the heart-breaking destruction of such a beautiful car :(
