Driver trianing also taught that if you see you are going to be hit

prevent your car from moving and being involved in second and third
crashes.

Methinks one would hard pressed to find an actual DT program w/ that as
a tenet. Even if it really would make much difference as soon as the
impact occurs the chances of being able to retain control of body
sufficiently to do so are zero in any impact sufficient to propel the
vehicle any distance--personal strength just don't match up w/ 3000-lb
20+ mph forces...
