This. I guess because of my incident with the popo when I was 16 and having to do defensive driving a few times (once court ordered, 2 other times to get the discount)…you become more alert. I am CONSTANTLY scanning my surroundings.

It’s amazing how, if you are alert, you can see what people will do before they do it (such as on the highway, you can tell who’s about to change lanes in front of you most of the time).
