How on earth could someone actually drive if they don't know how to manipulate the pedals to maintain speed? More gas, you go faster, less gas, you go slower. If you don't understand that, you shouldn't be on the road.
I assume you must mean something else, but I have no idea what.

What I mean is, some people just can't hold a speed. I realize it's a relatively simple concept (more gas to go faster, less to go slower) but I see people who vary in speed 10, 20 or 30 kph and I wonder. I can understand 5 or even 10 on a hill or something. I mean, it comes with practice and I have no idea who the person in front of me is; it could be a new driver. But on a flat stretch of road, it makes no sense to not be able to hold one speed.
