People cant reverse trailers yet they dont need a licence for it.

People cant change a tyre just call RACQ, NRMA, RAA etc.

Some people dont even know where the oil and water is let alone check their car tyres air pressure.

And so on the list goes.
That is so true mate. Me being an 18 year old with all of my 17-21 year old friends pretty much the most of them are tools, I know not a nice thing to say about my friends, but it doesn't help when I get looked at wierdly cuz' I know all of the practical things they don't.
