That was when driving was part of the school curriculum, at least in my era, and everybody took it. Nowadays it is pretty $$$ to take any drivers training and the least expensive driver training schools are a joke.
Most people don't even know to keep their hands off the top of the wheel so that if they have a frontal crash, they don't end up breaking their arm on their face when the airbag goes off. The good schools teach the 4 oclock, 8 oclock hand position, which is better for leverage anyway. Look around you when you drive and see all the people with their hand draped on the top of the wheel.
