Hmm, no, driving is definitely something you learn, not something you know instinctively. It's routine and everyday (hence people's complacency about things like driving over the speed limit or drink driving), but it's only instinctive in the same way as locking the front door (i.e. there's a line between automatic and instinctive).it's something you just have to know out of instinct.
Side note: I'm excellent at locking the front door.
