New Driver Education Learning lessons from expensive mistakes.

[dalyduo]

It's great to set the personal expectation bar high but you also have to be realistic and forgiving in order to learn and move on.
The margin for error gets smaller and smaller the faster you go. As your speed increases you have to learn how to react in those smaller margins and every one of your off course excursions teaches you more. None of us want to write crash damage checks but if you're exploring the limits on a regular basis, it's going to happen.
As you learn from your mistakes also forgive yourself for making them. :-)
You're probably doing better than you than you think you are.

Still: I'm out there trying to learn and I really think I did...
