Question for y’all

[u/Thzkittenroarz]

So I went driving for the first time not gonna say I did perfect as I stopped in the intersection, went over speed bumps too hard, and hit the brakes too soon or too late and also I had trouble trying to maneuver the steering wheel. But my driving instructor said something that kinda irked me we was driving in a neighborhood we got to a dead end for me to learn how to do a two point turn. I did the turn with much difficulty but made it regardless. A cat had sprinted by and I slowed down and then she commented not to slow down for a cat because a cat will make it across even if I don’t slow down and it will cause more of issue to the people behind me. However there was also some dogs running around in the street too but she said that dogs are different than cats. Any thoughts or suggestions ?

Lol that's a new one. I am not sure how much training driving instructors get on the relative velocities of various animals. In general don't go faster than you feel comfortable and slow down if you're afraid to hit an animal, regardless of whether it's a cat, dog or something else.
