In order to get my license a year early when I was living in NY, I took a
drivers ed course where they did go over some basic stuff like you have to
change your oil etc. Very basic stuff but there were people who didn't know
that you had to change the oil in a car.

More on common sense...
My friend and I were discussing an interesting topic, regarding common
sense,
prompted by the sight of a guy taking an off-ramp from the highway, at a
speed I'd rarely use in a new sports car, in a rusted out Camaro with very
obvioulsy "dead" struts/dampers/whatever.
We, somewhat sarcasticly, recommended a required class in high school
regarding common sense in car care, driving, etc. I'm not talking about
silly things like, "you must honk your horn when passing a parked car" (yes,
that's supposedly a law, in Ohio anyway). We were talking about, "don't
drive on bad struts, because..." and other things regarding the ownership
and
operation of an automobile, that you'd hope everyone on the road would
understand.
Of course...we were joking.......weren't we? :-)
