With hearing I sure can't tell what lane position they are taking as they approach. Only my eyes can give me that info. And while out on the road, can't I just assume I'm going to have cars around me?
Your point that hearing is passive and all that sounds good but it doesn't mean much. The
eyes and how to use them are what matter.
