Wow... I don't know if I can follow Capt Charlie's post. Hopefully, I can offer some tips on things I do that someone else finds valuable...
Personally, situational awareness is number one! Knowing if there are people on the sidewalks, where other vehicles are around me (This is a must! Others don't seem to concern themselves with that!), and have the doors locked. At stops, I try to be in the outside lane and I always try to stop somewhere I can peel off the road (to evade) if things get sticky. If that's not possible, I look for the shortest curb. Yeah, it will damage the rims, but if it gets you out of the kill zone, it's worth it.
I think the one problem we're going to run into with this thread is the high occurrence of SHTF scenarios.
Anyway, I hope this is the type of thing you're looking for! Maybe at the least, its a jumping-off point!
