How to drive without your phone up against your head would be a plus as well
Why should they have to know what a carburetor is when no cars are being made that have those anymore? May as well include a course on the horse and buggy. My driver's training was tough in SoCal and many of us failed the test the first time. I had to parallel park on an incline, go on the freeway, and guess at the speed limits on roads that had no posting. I moved to a small town in the midwest and here they have you simply do a lap around the center of town (1 block). As long as you obey the 25 limit, stop at the signs, and use your turn signal you get a license. It's a complete joke and no surprise there are so many accidents in the area.
Talking on the phone is bad, but the ones that scare me more than talking on phones are those that text while driving. It's crap like that that is forcing insurance companies to consider these wild ideas like installing cams in our vehicles.
Because I know how to fix a buckboard, I can understand how to fix a car. Because I can fix a carburetor, I can understand how to fix injection.
Simple systems provide understanding - HOW it works - A concept which is very nearly gone in this day of remove-and-replace and computerized diagnosis.
