   Contrast California...  For many years California required all   
   high school students to take Driver Ed.  What triggered that   
   requirement was a EdD dissertation on comparative accident rates   
   between trained and untrained drivers.  The author of the   
   disseration was Wallace A. Jones...  Dorothy's father.   
      
   Dorothy never had a drivers license... no instructor was quite   
   ever good enough in her father's eyes.  See old adage about   
   cobbler's children and shoes.
