One thing you have to learn by heart when driving is that of defense driving. A lot of people think that if they already know how to hold that steering wheel, they know all the stuff about driving. Wrong. Although defense driving is taught in driving schools, not everyone takes it by heart.
Defense driving teaches you the basics on what you are going to in case a mishap is about to happen. An example of this is that of snow skidding. Some worn out tires have a hard time grasping on snow, and so, when the time comes that your tires suddenly give up, defense driving teaches you what to do (i.e. how to steer the wheel, what position should the gear be etc.).
