How bad are ordinary people's car knowledge?

Nowadays, more and more people buy cars, but novice drivers really don't know the basic knowledge of cars. Even when we took the driving test, we spent a lot of time studying. But when buying a car, we pay more attention to the appearance, interior and power of the general family car. After I bought it, I simply stepped on the accelerator and braked. I can't use many functions in the car.

First, I am not familiar with the usage of various buttons on the car. The cold air, warm air, internal circulation, external circulation and defogging of air conditioning are really confusing at first, and it is easy to make jokes. Before, a friend told Miao Ge that when he first turned on the air conditioner in summer, he studied the air conditioner for a long time and didn't know how to cool it. As a result, he drove for a long time, arrived at his destination, sweating profusely, and still didn't understand the purpose of air conditioning.

Second, I can't find the fuel tank switch! This is also because I didn't study this humble switch when I was internship or buying a car. When I first went to refuel, I couldn't find the switch for a long time. In addition, I don't know whether the fuel filler is on the left or right side of the car body. These experiences have really been encountered by novice drivers, but as long as they have experienced embarrassment once, they will naturally know the second time.

Third, you can't use all kinds of lights correctly! Especially in rainy days and foggy days, even some old drivers love to drive double flashes regardless of the willy-nilly. In this weather, the effect of turning on fog lights is much better than turning on double flashes, but some novice drivers may have forgotten how to turn on fog lights long ago.

Fourth, I can't read the dashboard! The most common situations that novices encounter when the dashboard is on are that the brakes are not put, the tire pressure is insufficient, and the reminder is to refuel. Some novices didn't even know they wanted to look at the dashboard, so a buddy shared an interesting story with his daughter-in-law. The tire was nailed and the tire pressure was insufficient until it was completely flat and could not drive.

In short, it's not that I don't see it, I just don't understand it. I really know very little about the basics of these cars. When I took my driver's license test, I guess I only remembered how to start the car. Some people took exams for many years before they started driving, and I almost forgot how to drive. Therefore, novices must be familiar with the various functional configurations of the car in order to better drive on the road. Make a joke, affect the safety, not worth the loss.
