The idea behind that was to create an involuntary response to stimuli. In Pavolv's case, it was the sound of a bell triggering salivation in his dogs. In the case of above, it's more like training someone not to go into autopilot.
The closest thing in my experience to this is teaching people that already know how to drive to race. They just naturally followed their instincts when normally driving and probably have some innate bad habits that need to be broken. The nice thing with the guy mentioned in the OP is that he's still new to driving. You can break his bad habits now by gently, but firmly bossing him around a bit before the bad habits become set.
Ranger, do you need any specific stuff to point out to him?
