Relatable
I know right. This is so me.
Should be another panel on this
Yes, to the left of the first panel to be precise.
Maybe the scene is set in the UK.
Or in other countries which were under britain
Ok, but then the title should change. We need to be strict here.
Gotta love the anti meme lmao
It’s crazy that we gave away so much real estate to cars like in this cartoon and how we let the auto industry start blaming pedestrians for getting hit by cars rather than the other way around.
never understood why kids are taught to look left twice. the first look is redundant because the second one updates your knowledge about the traffic situation anyway. just look right and left.
You first look into the direction the cara are coming from (left in your case) and wait until you can cross the road. Then you check the other side just in case and while crossing the street, you look in the direction the cars are coming from again just in case something crazy happens.
If you look right first and then left, there night be cars coming from the left in which case you’d have to wait until they pass, then look right and then left while crossing the road. So your proposal would lead to one extra “looking to the side” if there happened to be a car coming.
You’re presuming people are paying attention to everything all of the time, which they don’t. Humans need that extra level of redundancy to mitigate our own shortcomings. Also, we look twice right as well! Once while standing still, the second time instinctively when you’re already crossing in case something changed. Would you be required to do this 100% of the time? Probably not, but learning from a young age you can’t trust one look is good practice in more ways than one.

No. I’m assuming they don’t — that’s why I see no point to look left first
Looking one time each way before crossing a road very clearly assumes you have seen every danger from one glance, otherwise you wouldn’t be confident in crossing the road.
