Mmmmm...I think for the most part we HAVE to? Driving military vehicles, whether a landrover or armour teaches you how to drive properly again. I for one am 100 times more aware of my surroundings with regards road conditions, stopping distances, pre-empting others actions etc. I do not have the luxury or ABS, airbags etc...and it has certainly made me a calmer and more considerate driver.....I enjoy driving something different, and would certainly not let a bad driver ruin my trip out....like you say "let it go"
