Teaching my niece to drive - should we purposely set her up to encounter "real"

No, because she needs to learn what to do in dangerous situation from you first. Then after you tell her what to do then test her with some situations. When i was learning, my mother purposely let me make mistakes to learn from them before i started driving on my own. So i like your logic and agree that is a good idea.

If it's her first time driving I wouldn't do this yet. If she has been driving awhile, then maybe I would. Don't wanna scare her away from driving.

NO. that is a horrible idea. she might total the car if you do this. if you want to do this wait until she gets her license. cuz by then she should know wat to do, if u do it before she would know wat to do something could go horribly wrong

Wait till she gets comfortable before you start "testing" her. Real world driving is stressful enough for a new driver.

it made me feel real nervous everytime i drove with him
but i guess it made me a better driver
