I recall reading somewhere that for PWP the ability to estimate time, that is, one's internal clock, is off. I wonder whether this has anything to do with finding oneself pematurely against the car in front. I don't recall whether our estimates are high or low - does anyone have any info on this? But iF it turns out that we estimate that it will take longer to reach a point than the actual time needed, then we will find ourselves there too early. Just speculating ... Phil Tompkins
