The Matatu Sense. A new sense for the Nairobian cyclist

In our lower primary we were taught about the five human senses and how they are important in the life of every human being. Now, cycling or walking in Nairobi requires you to have another special kind of sense that you only get from living in Nairobi or another busy town in Kenya. If you are a pedestrian or a cyclist then you probably have an idea of what I am talking about. The Matatu sense!
A Matatu is a minibus used for transportation in Kenya and is privately owned. More reading here.
The Matatu sense gives you an added ability that can't be compared to anything, even magic doesn't come close. It lets you know of the following without taking a quick glance behind to see whats coming:

• The size of the Matatu (14 seater or 26/40 seater mini bus)
• The colour of the Matatu
• The router the Matatu operates on
• The recklessness of the driver and crew (just by the way it is approaching)

And not only does it allow you to know what's behind,  some of the above applies to what lies ahead and this allows you to make good decisions and the road and avoid mishaps. A simple decision for a cyclist to
Now with these in mind you can now make a quick decision depending on the circumstance and either accelerate and avoid it or just sit up and give way.
Another advantage that I get from this is that you do not need to look behind and therefore you remain focused and never have to hit the 'wall' on the pave. Let me know your experiences.
So, is this a new discovery in Biology? :-D
