Factors add up. Using a 12-second interval allows a rider to avoid traps and have time to respond, versus react. Smooth manipulation of motorcycle controls is and indicator of a good rider.

Using a strategy like SEE (Search, Evaluate, Execute) to identify hazards in advance helps prevent Factors from becoming Traps we cannot Escape from.
