Default Idea for making people better drivers.

After gaining my HR truck licence and driving trucks for the last 6 months it has realy opened my eyes to the idiots on the roads. I now have a whole new respect now for heavy vehicles when I'm out and about in my car, and I now allways give them plenty of room.
Now there are a lot of accidents involving trucks that could have been avoided if the idiot car driver just knew a bit about how trucks drive, brake and manover. Would having car drivers take the passenger seat of a large truck for a few hours help ? Would it make them relise what goes on in the traffic when the truck driver points out to them what is going on with the truck and the surrounding traffic ?

Sitting up high with a birds eye view of the idiots on the roads and the truckie telling you how it is..... surely it would make a difference to the way you drive when you next hop into your car.
