It's called "procrastination".
.only in this case it involves a collision with a 1000lb object at 50mph
(which are both values they are not used to thinking in)!

In Star Trek speak, it's called being on an intercept course. Your shields
should deflect objects that are on an intercept course. Your shields must
have failed on the day you hit the sparrow.

Subject: [birdky] Behavior question
I have a bird behavior question that actually is very stupid, but I'm going
to ask it anyway because I am the ABA SQC* Chairman. :-) When I'm driving,
why do the birds wait until just before I pass to fly across the street
right in front of my car? I ride my brakes, especially in residential areas,
for this reason. I miss them by inches. A few years ago, I didn't miss a
House Sparrow and felt terrible about it. Am I imagining this? Certainly
this doesn't happen to me alone. Is there a name for this behavior?
Thank you for enlightening me,

**Just kidding. There is no such committee. If there was though, I'm sure
I'd be the chairman. :-)
