Your idea to have the dealerships require evidence of completion of driver safety course would be one solution. Another would be to have the dealer or manufacture include a safety course, classroom and road time, with the purchase of the car. Some aircraft manufactures include pilot training in the price of their more HP and complex aircraft.
Of course that wouldn't solve the problem with the secondary (used) car market. Then it would be up to the insurance company to require HP driving safety classes for the driver/owner to get insurance. States requiring proof of insurance prior to registration of a vehicle might bring a little more of assurance of safety to the driving of HP vehicles.
Unfortunately, we'll probably never be able to stop the many who prefer to circumvent any system that might be developed.

I completely agree with every bit of this post.
Maybe it needs to be taken to the state DMV level? No registration without proof of proper training? Kind of like when you go for a motorcycle license? That would catch everyone.
