Driver training is astonishingly lax compared to pilot training. A huge portion of pilot training is dedicated to handling various emergencies.

As my pilot buddy says: "Flying is 99% boredom and 1% sheer terror".

You should tell your pilot buddy to try gliders, much less boredom there.

The general spirit is, of course, still completely true.
