I still think everyone should ride a bike for at least a year before even contemplating getting in a car.
The grey area is that in 29 years of bike riding, i've never tried driving a car, yet i could jump into a three wheeler motor and be on my way without question!
If you ever get the chance to drive a reliant or similar you'll soon understand why they allowed riders to use them without a full car license.
Saying that though I used to be able to drift mine at wet junctions, much to the amusement of pedestrians

Same as that I scuffed the drivers side door handle off my old Regal van one night going around a tight left hander had it up on two wheels (Nothing unusual about that) but going much to fast for the bend (I think there was something wrong with the beer that night as it seemed to upset my judgement) and over she went corkscrewed down the road spun 360 degrees a couple of times and came to a stop. I had to get out of it like a tank with a top trapdoor, I stood on the upturned door sill of the old girl leaned out holding the opened outside side of the door, fell off backwards and pulled the old thing back onto its wheels, this enabled Carol the then girlfriend to get out. :eek the only damaged done was wing mirror gone, door handle gone a shed full of paint and fibreglass gone and a broken finger nail with belonged to Carol, she grabbed at the little alloy loop door slam handle and stabbed her finger into it as the old Regal reared up. the good thing is I patched the old regal up, never quite looked the same though.
Carol and I went out for a further 4 years.
I was really upset when she went but there was no way to get her through anymore MOT's :lol :rolleyes
