I very rarely concentrate on my driving, its almost exclusively handled
in the subconscious, the same with e.g. skiing or other occupations
where automatic responses are better and faster than conscious thought,
even when driving at speeds over 100mph where you wake up a bit


So you admit to having so many incidents that it has become a learnt
response.


No, you stupid ****

I used to, for example (when safe to do so), take a roundabout sideways in
a controlled skid when I was in my late teens, or lock the wheels on ice
to learn how to recover in a controlled manner - just like a pilot learns
to recover from a stall


A pilot learns that in a simulator where possible, that's what simulators
are for, learning how to crash not how to fly.


So, the ability to recover from such a situation becomes innate


Rubbish, you would have to take it so far that you crashed to learn the
limits.
You really are a pratt.


I know where my vehicle is on the road, how far that metallic personal
space extends. I usually forecast another car's intent to e.g. change
lanes before the driver seems to.


The word "usually" is somewhat important when driving.


Because I pushed the limits, trained myself and learned to read the road,
these have all become second nature. I know I'm not alone, people who push
things a bit learn where the limits are and how to react as second nature
to events

Something you will never understand because you are an incompetent useless
****er who shouldn't be let loose in anything as dangerous as a car on a
public highway


But you are the one that has had accidents, I have none for over 30 years.
