Default SIPDE for safety

I'd like to share this acronym I picked up in a
motorcycle safety (defensive) riding course.
It is SIPDE
S = Scan
I = Interpret
P = Predict
D = Decide
E = Execute
I have found that to keep this in mind,
whether I am riding a motorcycle, auto or golf cart
has served me well, and I felt it is worth sharing
with anyone that hasn't heard of it.
The scanning part applies to what is going on
behind you as well as what is in front.
Don't want to be negative, but I always predict the worst
