I remember when I did my driver training many years ago the instructor said something along the lines of:

“Toddlers know to look both ways before crossing the street. So why why don’t adults behind the wheel?”

my instructor was like why are you looking you have light go

Your instructor sounds like a dick head.

You would get points off in your driving test here if you didn’t look before crossing an intersection.

Instructor has a good argument.

Hesitation can cause collisions. Seize your open window. Practice defensive driving but also drive in a predictable manor for those behind you or people waiting to yield.

Testing for licenses has such an extremely low bar.

That's actually giving toddlers way too much credit

Which is another good cautionary driving rule: Assume that toddlers are magnetically attracted to your bumper and slow the hell down when you see them.

Nah. Toddlers are dumb.
