With driver training it's about time it was cheaper. I know of a guy that went to one he had a massive ball doing it, Used his own car but it cost something like $200 i think. To much.

I think $200 is a bargain if it saves your life,but the government should include driver training compared to the cost to rehabilitate a car accident victim,the driver training cost is minuscule

If the Government payed for 5 sessions@ $200, they would still be way ahead.
