Sounds like you had a great driving instructor. Although I never had an experience like that when learning to drive, we did have to complete something in the UK called a "hazard perception test"[1] in order to get a drivers license. Basically a video version of what your instructor did for you. Until reading your comment today, I'd never really put much thought into how useful this is and how ingrained in my everyday driving it is.

A thing I like to do to stay in practice is to browse /r/roadcam over on reddit. I open a video at random and watch it, and try to guess where the collision (or near-collision) is going to come from.
