How can you tell someone hasn't taken useful and serious drivers education? They don't understand why the driver is positioned as they are in a car/truck/etc.

A driving trick: Most passenger cars have a hood. If you find the center point of the front of the hood, and sight down that, you find the point on the road where your outer wheels will track. So set the edge of the road along that sight line, and you're safely driving at the edge of the road. Few exceptions. It is true despite the apparent design differences among various makes and models.

You learn that from serious driver ed instructors.

This is very important. There's a light-year of difference among a typical scholarly article, a physics paper, a math paper, or some kind of incomprehensible humanities bafflegab that no sane person could comprehend. The former, if it's not too technical, should be readable to the average undergrad. The second and third might not be because there are so many specialized concepts and so much specialized language. The latter (and I'm not indicting everything coming out of the humanities, but a lot of it) is incomprehensible because it literally doesn't make sense.
