While driving to a seminar destination I became stuck in some very slow traffic. I alerted the host by cell phone, looked at the map, and exited at the next off ramp to access an alternative route. When I arrived just in the nick of time, I was presented with a summary outlining how each brain lead might respond to the situation.
