  I still remember SIPDE from my motorcycle safety course -- scan,
identify,
predict, decide, execute.  I think this helps me avoid many
potential problems and when it doesn't -   it pays to have a solution in
mind - it's amazing how much faster you can react.

Chris, you bring back memories of my college days, when I took all the
available courses to be able to teach driver education. (I never became
a teacher otherwise, so I never taught driver ed. in a school, but I
did teach commercially for awhile.)

Dr. Richard Ellis (my professor) had, by the mid-1970s, modified the
original IPDE -- identify, predict, decide, execute -- into SIPDCE:
Sense, Identify, Predict, Decide, COMMUNICATE and Execute. He was
especially big on the COMMUNICATE part (and no, not with single-digit
hand gestures, but primarily with directional signals, tap of the horn
and the like)!
