I don't have the yoke yet, but from what I'm hearing about the problems with it, it looks like it's a matter of adaptation. When you're learning a new skill, let's go with flying, it's never a good idea to have more than one new variable at a time. I'm in the camp of driving is more dangerous than flying. Flying is 3D while driving is very 2D/lineal. That said, if it's a problem, find an open area, empty parking lot maybe. Drive the car and simulate situations you'd run into while on the road. Hit the horn. Practice tight turns, backing up. Get used to the turn signals. Instead of moving your fingers to move a lever, you're moving your thumb to push a button. Do these actions until it's not risky and becomes second nature. It just doesn't seem like rocket surgery.
I could end up eating my words, but I'm betting I don't.
