Speed doesn't kill you. It's the sudden stop that kills you. An age old phrase but true enough. Add in the fact that when in a car you are surrounded by 1,500kg of metal and plastic that can easily deform and crush you, or at least parts of you, in a collision and it's pretty obvious that the best course of action is to avoid having a crash.

Excellent post (I just read the full article). In the military we call it simply Situational Awareness or just SA. It's drilled into our heads throughout our careers.

Cheers Dan. It annoys me that motorcyclists are given constant training info throughout their riding careers, even via magazines that focus on riding fast, whilst it's not considered cool to receive any post-test training once you can drive a car. As such there are a lot of dufus drivers on the road

Great post - I am 26 and have figured out all of these over the years and have yet to get in an accident because of it. Hopefully some other people can learn from it and help make the roads safer :)

The roads would be a much safer place if more people read and practiced these simple guidelines.
