IMO you shouldn't be allowed on the road if you don't know where your washer
bottle is located.
I know in the UK the driving test now incorporates vehicle maintenance, but
it doesn't in America

Here in the US the threshold for driving is lower than Europe (a right .vs.
privilege); so the threshold for those allowed to drive reflect the policy.
I bet well over 2/3 of drivers here in the US would flunk basic driving
requirements in Europe.

Very true, and it shows in everyday driving -- left lane bandits,
failing to yield, tail-gating, etc. When I learned to drive 51 years
ago, the emphasis was on parallel parking, and still is today.
Perhaps that is why advanced driving schools are so popular in the
States.
