Totally agree about the defensive driving course.

Unfortunally here in Australia they teach you simply to PASS your test to get your lisense, still feel as though you never really get taught how to drive. Very unlucky in the sense you still hit stuff, but lucky in the minor damage caused.

My only word of advice.. any time you feel as though you're about panic.. use TWO feet.. mash the clutch and brake and hold on.. let the car do the rest!
