Hank,
I'm already at that point. One of the most important things I learnedfrom horse back riding was to always be one step ahead of the horse,which is especially true as I was a show jumper and had to know aheadof time if the horse was going to need more leg to make it over a jump,more speed, a long stride to hit the take off spot, etc. So I'm verygood at thinging of worst case senario's and the best and quickest wayto get out of them. I'm a naturally cautious driver and always cover mybrake when I see a potential hazard, my instructor says that's awonderful quality and can't believe no one taught me it. It's justnatural for me to air on the cautious side. That paid off one day whenI was driving with my sister when a 2 or 3 year old kid ran into theroad and his parents were not in sight, I had been covering my brake assoon as I saw him and it paid off when he ran into the street.
