Situational awareness is sadly lacking in large parts of the adult population. I ride a motorcycle every day, so my situational awareness remains pretty good and it translates to other parts of my life too. I never get in anyone's way while moving on foot through crowded shopping malls for instance. The number of times every week that some idiot car driver nearly wipes me out proves that most adults are hopelessly unaware of their surroundings.
