^^ that is why there is something called "situational awareness". this is about knowing your environment at ALL times. it is a constant, deliberate effort to observe and determine all possible threats.

when you are driving you are suppose to check your side mirrors and rear view mirror every few seconds, di lang sa harap nakatingin. you are also suppose to look far and near. that is just defensive driving di ba. situational awareness is taking that defensive driving practice to a higher level, this time not just assessing what other drivers are doing and possibly do, but assessing if they are a threat. you then try to predict what this possible threat will do, even doing tests of your suspicions (like speeding up, changing lanes or making turns). it also requires to be aware of possible ambush points, like in this particular case while crossing a hump on the road. you also make plans and prepare - pag hinarang ako i floor the gas and aim for the bastard, get your gun from its hiding place, lock and load.

kung mahilig ka sa guns, or even simple personal security, meron available info about this topic sa internet and gun magazines/publications.

naalala ko dito yung kwento ng kaibigan ko na family driver ng isang negosyante araw-araw sumusundo siya sa mga anak nito sa la salle tapos nung kausuhan ng kidnap for ransom minsan pauwi na sila same route may sumusunod sa kanila na van heavily tinted napansin niya kahit anong bagal niya ayaw mag overtake parang tinatantya sila kung saan sila pwede icut. ginawa niya binilisan niya ng konti bibilis din daw takbo tapos naisip niya ba lumiko sa isang street na hindi naman talaga daanin ng mga sasakyan aba sumunod pa din daw kaya sumunod na ginawa niya paglabas sa street na yun medyo alerto na siya tapos binilisan na niya ng konti at panay tingin niya kung oovertake sa kanila tapos pag dating sa intersection na dinaanan nila may stoplight sakto naka go sila ginawa niya bagal todo tapos nakatutok pa din daw sa likod nila yung van nung nag yellow na nagfull stop siya tapos pag red light bigla siya kumana ng u-turn susunod pa daw sana yung van ang kaso parating na yung mga sasakyan sa kabilang side kaya hindi nakasunod tapos paspas na raw siya kinabukasan ibang sasakyan na gamit nila at iba ibang route na din dinadaanan niya.

Nakakaparanoid talaga ito lalo na pag maraming motor sa paligid mo. Awareness of your surroundings is one thing. Napaisip tuloy ako. Balak ko palagyan ng clear tint yung sasakyan ko. Kaya clear tint para hinde mahirap sa gabi. Magdadalawang isip ba ang mga RIT kung hinde visible sa kanila ang laman sa loob?
