Sort of along the same lines as driving conditions a new driver might not be used to, it is also important to point out things a driving ed instructor might not, but very important for a new driver to at least be aware of. Like routine maintenance, checking the antifreeze, wiper fluid, brake fluid, oil or knowing what to do if the oil light should come on, and tire pressure, how much to add if they're low, what gas to use, even, how to jump start a car if the battery is dead. I have made both my girls memorize recite back, the back of our insurance card where it tells you what you do if you get in an accident.
There are probably many simple or common sense things that the new driver could overlook but possibly with some pretty bad outcomes if they don't know how to deal with them.
