It is called anticipation and is a part of defensive driving/riding. The

way to travel safely when using any form of road transport. Saying its
someone else's fault does not help when you are dead or seriously
injured.

I always try to anticipate, but it's not always possible to anticipate
car doors suddenly opening. If you cycled, you'd know what I mean.


Motorists traveling at much faster speeds seem to cope with it.
