At which point on the track do they roll out the cars and oncoming traffic? The track is a different experience than the street ever will be. That's why drivers education isn't done on closed circuit road courses. Your logic is flawed and thoughtless. The skills one learns at the track in a car or motorcycle translate very well into comfortably maneuvering risky situations on the street but else wise have no bearing on commuting. The track can teach you a lot, but only experience on public roads will make you more comfortable on public roads. The track does not have a center divider, curbs, potholes, oncoming traffic, stops and starts, etc. Please, continue to educate everyone though.
If half the squids out there learned to ride to 95% the limits of their bike on a track before hitting the street, then hit the street and rode your claimed 75%, they woul die, because the track isn't a public road and is a completely different environment designed to facilitate freedom. It's completely different. The skills have transferrence sure, but you have it backwards in my opinion. Learn to commute it and operate it normally, then when you want to learn more than basic riding skills and push it, learn on a safe closed course, and then enjoy the daily grind that much more. Would you have 16yr olds taking driver's ed on close course race tracks and learning racing lines to grant them a license to drive on public roads rather than being trained to drive said public roads? That's insane... However, you learn to drive normal, then attend a few hpde's and that's a recipe for a good driver. Have whatever opinion you like, I think you're giving terrible advice though sending someone who is nervous cornering within traffic lanes to a track environment though.
