Whilst we all agree that the risk should be minimised, (again if indeed there is a risk as other roads have a far worst accident level), it is the approach.
Getting a mag to lead a crusade is a start, but it is is fact all our responsibility as enthusiasts to both police what we do, and promote/foster learning and improvement of skills.
It alway strikes me odd that if this was family or work we would be supporting and training members and teams all the time. Families work better, teams work better etc. Yet when it comes to driving it is as if a persons skill (or lack) is beyond reproach. We fear speaking out and fear more being called out.
Driving courses should have car control included, and the test altered to examine this.
The RAC and MSA should have car control built into their T&C's so that all affiliated car clubs/societies are required to do something practical around promoting safer car control and improved driver training. This could be theory/talks organised in a pub, Auto test/car control limit days, doesn't have to be expensive or complicated.
Personally i would like to see mags produce driver improvement vids for you tube/Facebook etc as well, as access to correct info is often the strangle hold on many a good idea.
