> I’m in the habit of watching for wheels to start rolling when I’m worried someone will unexpectedly pull out in front of me. A trick I learned years ago from a motorcyclist: pay attention to the front wheels of cars near you in traffic. Very often, the front wheel turning is the first noticeable visual indication that a car is changing lanes or turning. That gives you a few more fractions of a second in a situation where they could be very important. After a while, I noticed that I was instinctually able to tell more accurately if a car is accelerating or decelerating. After considering it, I realized that I actually could tell better than before, but it wasn't instinct. Because I was watching cars' front wheel, I was able to see the front suspension load and unload as they accelerated or braked respectively. It was just subconscious.
