Among other things, I am a retired Safety Manager. Long ago I developed a habit of counting the number of doors to the nearest fire exit in a hotel, the rows of seats to the exits on an airplane. I routinely test the exit doors on hotels. this has resulted in a number of intresting discussions with hotel staffs.
As I moved into more populated areas, I developed the following habits.
When going to public places I allways identify emergency exits, Hard cover for protection and observe other occupants for potential threats.
Prior to moving out of the Phoenix Valley, I located and drove alternative evacuation routes which are not passable to ordniary vehicles. A million or so people trying to leave the Valley at the same time will insure that few escape.
AS a defensive driver I keep aware of traffic. I look for avenues of escape to avoide traffic accidents and your occassional carjacker.
I allways listen to the hair on the back of my neck. It will tell you of a problem before you are aware there is a problem.
