Fog light rant!

You're missing the point Tom. Yes there is a huge diversity of people on the roads but there is a minimum standard to the skill of these people. If theres not, they should have that skill improved or the privilege of driving removed. Simple. You're basically saying you feel unsafe doing basic tasks like turning on/off lights or looking at your dash. Now, you're fortunate enough (depending on how you look at it i suppose) to have a car that does some of these things automatically but what happens if you crash your car and have a basic hire car for a few weeks without these things? Then you're outside your comfort zone and therefore dangerous to other road users, therefore below the minimum training level.
And i'm not just aiming this at you. Unfortunately, there are lots of people on the roads these days like this, some not as bad and some much worse and this is why the standard of driving in this country is getting progressively worse. People just dont know how to drive anymore!
