What is the driving task?

My son just got his learner's permit and he wants me to help him with some of his driving material. Driver's ed is way different now than when I took it and it talks about the driving task. I've never heard of this before. To save face with my son, can you tell me what the driving task is?

“Used to teach newer students about driving, the driving task is the set of variables a driver might come across when they’re behind the wheel. The driving task includes:
  • Vehicle
  • Driver
  • Traffic
  • Road/road conditions
  • Weather
  • Light
These variables can all change individually, in combination, or all at once. But by knowing this, students can have a better idea of what might await them when they’re driving.
Teaching a teenager to drive can be a stressful process! To offer some peace of mind, review your insurance to make ensure you have the best coverage. Use the free

Where is the 2013 Ford F-150 fuel pump relay location?
The fuel pump in my 2013 F-150 has been acting pretty wonky over the past few days, but today, my engine wouldn’t start at all. However, I learned that it might be the result of a bad fuel pump relay, so I want to check it to make sure. Where is the fuel pump relay location on a 2013 Ford F-150?

How Long Can I Drive with a Radiator Leak?
I’ve noticed a tiny puddle of fluid underneath where I park my car for the past week. I’m pretty sure it’s coming from the radiator, but I don’t have time to get it looked at. How long can I drive around with a radiator leak before it becomes a problem?
