requirements for driving schools, do they all have this requirement?  Do
cars turn over at these schools?  I really didn't  intend to turn the
machine over -- nor did I think there was a large risk of doing so with a=
n
instructor around.  By the way, does the right hand seat need the five
point
seatbelt and the arm restraints?  (What the heck ARE arm restraints?)

Jerry ,
check out NASA, as all converts, still need a roll bar.  (you are driving=

at speeds well over the speed limit, and if you blew a tire or something
unforseen happened, I would only suffer a hurt car, you could die!)

Anyway, most only require the roll bar and not a 5 point harness.  Arm
restraints are little velcro'ed straps that tie into the harness
that keep your arms from going out the window incase of a roll.    Cars
rarely roll, and never with an instructor.  Its usually the =

first timer in a stock nissan with pinner tires that goes off track at 80=

and rolls.   =


Ive been racing and doing schools for over 3 years now, and have only
video'ed bozo's that bit off more than they can chew, going off track. =

(Ive done a spin on film when I first got my race rubber, and forgot to
lower the pressure)

In the race group, I have only seen one incident.   In the school group, =
I
get some spin out footage everyday.    Check out =
