That does not stop you teaching the effect of going through flooded roads though.

Should one really expect to be taught, or indeed need to be taught the proper decision to make in every single circumstance which crops up on life? Obviously that would be an impossibly wide ranging task, so instead we should be able to use basic common sense - weigh things up, understand the risks and the possible consequences and do the right thing.



Trouble is, common sense seems to no longer be on the curriculum, people always think if they make a wrong decision, someone else will pay for their stupidity. Because people became so lacking in common sense, they introduced and made mandatory - Risk Assessment forms for every single job, just to force people to think and deal with the claim culture.
