I know that now, at close to 30, I'm WAY better of a driver than I was at 16, and can handle a lot of emergency situations much better, and it's not like I was a bad driver either as a teenager. I think the same can be said for anyone. That's the point. You don't learn all of those maneuvers and such right out of driver's ed.

I don't even think that experience comes with age. I've seen tons of older people that can't drive worth anything. I am a much better driver than I was as a teenager, but handling vehicle dynamics has nothing to do experience on the road - it has to be with experience with oversteer - something that nearly all drivers will try to avoid unless they are actively seeking it out.
I wouldn't say that oversteer is an emergency situation like a panic stop - I would argue that it is a skill that can only be taught by first hand experience (not to be confused with experience on the road).
