Explanation
Checking from left to right and then left again before entering an intersection provides a comprehensive view of any potential hazards or obstacles that may be in the way. At any intersection, looking to the left first is important because vehicles coming from the left will be closer to you. Then look to the right and, before you drive through, take one more quick look to the left to ensure that there is no last-minute crossing traffic or pedestrians that you may have missed during your initial scan.
