Agree.
If there was a way for it to happen and involve only them, it may have some beneficial effect on their mental attitude, but there is no guaranteed way for that to happen.
Most certainly there is no guaranteed way and not by a long chalk in my opinion.
I had experience as an ADI teaching people who had been involved in collisions (one in which a close relative of the pupil had been killed). The experience most certainly did not help that particular pupil and the road to a driving licence was a long and hard one for them.
How on earth you could come up with a feasible simulation of the trauma I cannot imagine.
