People aim at what they fear. The pole. The parked car. The oncoming lights. The brain locks on the object and the hands follow the eyes. Crash lives in closeness plus a speed difference. The way out is the opening — the space you actually want the car to occupy.

This is one piece of the 1200 skills and it shows up everywhere: parking lots, lefts, narrow streets, cyclists. You tell me what it feels like inside. I tell you what I saw outside. We rebuild the aim. Quiet reps. Enough that tomorrow you can still find the gap space instead of the object.
