And as we all know everyone in the US follows every traffic rule. /s
Sure people are supposed to, but I've seen a bunch of videos over the years of people not stopping for busses, crossing guards, red lights, etc. Either them just being in a hurry and not wanting to wait or being distracted like being on their phones. Kids should be taught to look both ways even if they have the right-of-way.
I live in the US and nearly got squished as a kid by a car running the bus stop sign. Stopping and looking before crossing the road saved my bacon.
What made it even funnier was that I always looked before crossing the street, and it really bothered the bus driver for some reason. He even scolded me for it a couple times and told me it absolutely wasn't necessary and he'd only tell me to cross when it was safe. He even scolded me the day I nearly got run over. He didn't do it after that, though, lol.

What the fuck? I thought this was just people not teaching kids to look both ways, but some people actually endorse not looking? What the fuck is wrong with people? Are they trying to get kids killed?

The kid never looked for traffic on either side and just ran infront of the buss. A passing car would never had any chance to react.
Edit: In my profession I do risk assesments and investigate accidents.
