Disagree.

I was as much a high school punk with a P.O.S. car as most, but my old man got me to do a drivers ed. course. If nothing else, I picked up some good habits. i.e. being a more aware driver, scanning for potential problems, etc. By no means perfect, but the course helped. Seeing some videos of crash scenes helped with the risk taking.

My point is, habits can be formed.

Agreed, btw, that if someone insists on being an idiot, nothing is going to help
