Driving lessons.Forget things like hazard perception tests and the like. All learner drivers should have a short course (a couple of hours some afternoon) on how to look up the price of spare parts and the basic principles behind common servicing jobs.
Then, as part of the driving test they should have to take the car to a main dealer and explain clearly, firmly and politely that there is *no* *fucking* *way* they are going to pay for six hours of labour for changing the front brake pads.
This is especially important for young women drivers.
