Sounds like some weird francophobia going on - or your trainer was getting a bit hypoglycaemic or something :S
Looking back every 3-4 cars makes no sense without context. It depends how densely they're parked, surely? And anyway, counting cars is far too monomaniacal. When I glance behind is based on a plethora of stimuli, ranging from sensory input/perceived hazards, to local knowledge, to wishing to communicate my intentions, and so on; as I'm sure it is for you.
If you were left with your confidence dented, did you get a chance to offer formal feedback? And can you request another go with an alternative trainer? Apologies if this was discussed on another thread already.
