Look, Mum! There's a car driving on the road Dear all, please help me out - I am teaching my son English (I am Russian) and the other day that's what he yelled when he saw an approaching car. It seemed to me there was something wrong with how he put it, but I didn't know what would be the best way to say that without sounding "foreign", what would a native child say in that situation? Thank you!

One could say very naturally, "Watch out, Mum!  There's a car coming!"  "coming" is better than "driving", because it tells you that the car is approaching.  If you say "driving," we don't know which direction the car is moving.  It could be moving away.

 

Also, if your son was warning you of a possible collision, he should have said, "watch out," not "look out".
