Moving on, let's get back to the OP subject....please.

That would be situational awareness and having a plan. That is the primary thing I do, whether I am driving down the highway (Dad told me to always have an escape plan), eating at a restaurant, walking down the street, stopping for gas, sitting at a stop light or just sitting in my own living room watching television.

Or just walking to the DAV Door on my volunteer day.. Empty handed the first trip, if work needs to go inside I do that on the second trip after I clear the building.

Dad taught us to always do a safety check by first using the drive way's message of foot prints and tire tracks, the drive way always left good imprints as it was made of gravel and sand.

I am truly sorry to hear that lives were lost but glad that your wife came home to you safe and unharmed other then the terror she was feeling. Good for her that she knew what to do and did it. One can practice over and over but they sometimes even the best prepared freezes.

From looking at the picture, it looks like your wife backed in. I have been trying to do that more and more so that if needed, I can quickly get out and away. Nothing worse than trying to get out in a crowd and trying to back into traffic.

Always back in or pull through, I have hammered that into her head for years and was proud to see that she did.
