Might be worth a few quid to have a lesson or two in a car sometime. Even if you're not interested in having a car. Always worth having experience of another vehicle. It might also help you understand why cars behave the way they do due to certain driver inputs, something which you can't really explain or learn until you've done it yourself, like trying to explain countersteering to someone who hasn't ever ridden a bike, they may understand the principles of it and mechanically how it works but they will never know what it feels like until they do it. Having this experience may help you read the body language of a car and recognise a hazard that you might not have seen otherwise. I'm not saying you can't do that already. 

It may help you when thinking of your road position when on your bike if you know what a cars blind spots are like as a driver etc.

It's the same reason why I encourage people who have only ever driven a car to at least do their CBT, it helps them to understand a bike/scooter and what it is capeable of and therefore will help them understand why a rider may do certain things. For example if they have been in that situation they may leave a bit more room whilst overtaking a bike.
