Reverse this for the UK, Australia, Japan, etc

I get you should look left immediately before stepping into the street as that’s where a car will be. But why twice?

    I have a kid, so I needed to think this through before teaching it. I ended up teaching the kid that you would need to look everywhere at all times, but that would require having eyes everywhere, right? So you just start looking in the direction where cars could come first, and then you keep looking rightleftrightleft until you crossed the damn street

        Stare into the drivers eyes as you cross…

        But seriously just keep an eye on the car. Even if someone is slowing down, sometimes they don’t stop
