Only in that I probably never would have gone on an Academy day if I wasnt on the site

 

the tales of woe on here prompted me to invest in several driving days!

 

Yes, it has made me more aware, got me to go on track days which have helped my understanding of the car and also pull my finger out to invest in driver training.
The mishap reporting also helps to remind me to take it easy and not get on the fabled list.
Great site.
