Really: I don't think people need to learn that anymore than they need to learn not to dive head first, blind, into open manholes in the street.

Some possible things someone could learn from a situation like the one you described would be to constantly observe the condition of the street and to keep their speed below that which is required to safely ride the observable road. Also: that it's generally better to react and adjust before a potential dangerous situation arises to avoid it, than it is to wait until an actual dangerous situation occurs and react then.
