In a broader sense it is Being Taken By Surprise that has contributed to most of the close calls I've had. That tends to happen when I'm day dreaming or preoccupied and just rolling along minding my own business...SURPRISE! The more I am present and holding focus situationally the more I can anticipate, anticipate and anticipate. Trouble is being on the road, on my bike triggers all sorts of stuff in my mind that kinda pulls me out of my situational awareness unless I can catch it first.
I don't always catch it first. For example being surprised when a car overtakes me on the freeway and I realize I didn't see it coming up in the left lane. A sure warning I have been sleeping at the switch sort of speak.
