There should definitely be more information on the needs of other road users when people learn to drive, and practical experience would be even better.
I think that's true, but I also think there should be more emphasis placed on teaching cyclists that about the dangers of skipping red lights without checking to see if there are any pedestrians coming, and about riding between buses at bus stops and the kerb, etc. I have more near misses with cyclists than I've ever done with cars.
Saying that, pedestrians who run across busy roads (I have to admit, I do that) are just as bad!
