I highly recommend people take a high performance/race driving course if they can. I did a single day one which involved high speed maneuverability trials designed to be useful in emergency scenarios (swerving, braking, hard turns) followed by a few laps around a racetrack.

It's one of the best ways to figure out what it feels like to drive at the limits of your car and how you and it react in a very safe and controlled environment.
