interesting.

back when i was doing a lot of performance driving stuff (mostly
bmw club race track schools), i made the following observation:

you can tell someone has become an intermediate driver because
they start regularly trashing their brakes.

you can tell someone has become an advanced driver when they
learn how to go even faster while not trashing their brakes.
