I remember when I first applied for my driver's license. I went down to the DMV, took a test, filled out a bunch of paperwork... then I was forced to experience an actual traffic accident. My head hit the driver's side window hard enough to spider-web cracks through it and I suffered a concussion. My chest and ribs were bruised from the restraining force of the seat belt.
This was necessary for me to fully understand the potential consequences of becoming a driver.
