Good Point Allan. I don't recall much of anything from my actual driver's
training but I'd be willing to be there was little to no education on such
things.

It also occurred to me that things like driving down long grades and such
are probably taught differently in different geographical locations. I'm not
saying it should be that way but it seems that it's a possibility.

Residing somewhere that has a relatively flat terrain I can't ever recall
running into anyone who has ever overheated their brakes - let alone
actually considering the possibility. There really are no long steep
decents. It's just not something one encounters.

Does that make someone "stupid" as others have alluded? I don't think
so, Clueless maybe - but I'd also bet that places that don't encounter snowy
winter conditions don't place a lot of education on driving in the snow and
ice.
