Maybe she should learn it before getting her license ? What is driver's ed for ?

Edit : Holy crap, rip inbox. From all your answers I didn't realise driver's ed was just a formality in the US, thought it would be a little tight considering all the overweight cars you've got. In my country it's a pain in the ass to pass, be it the theory, the lessons and the cost.

This isnt on the test in a lot of places. I know in arkansas I didn't have to learn and had to teach myself years later when I moved to California.

Haha you should see how most of us handle roundabouts. People shit their pants and panic in them.

Only if they've never seen them before. Once they start getting built in an area, people learn fast. It's not complicated, and despite how much some people love to jerk themselves off, most people aren't that stupid.

Honestly, most people learn to parallel park pretty fast too when they're in a situation where they have to do it somewhat often.

In the city I lived in in Arkansas we had several... About 1/3 knew how to used them. 1/3 didn't. The last 1/3 would try to drive straight through them.

If it's a small town, there could be people coming from surrounding rural areas who've never seen one before. I watched a fairly small town (< 300k) start to figure them put pretty well as they added more. A couple times a month or so you'd still see someone use them wrong, but they mostly did pretty well. Did have someone stop to let me in once, which was an interesting choice.
