In our riding group we would use the SEE strategy its straight from the Busa riders forum.

1) Search for potential hazards - look as far as u can see better is if u r following a vehicle if possible try getting a look ahead of it.
2) Evaluate the situation, how are you going to handle it (speed up, slow down, wait for traffic to do its thing)
3) Execute, put it into motion

The Search part
2 Second following distance
(this is min. for ideal conditions - This figure will change very much for Indian road conditions).

4 Second Immediate path -
couple of times I have cut from 1 - 2 - 3 and into breakdown lane to get back to 1st lane just did not want to slow down. This is bad and I am doing my best to get of this habit.

12 Second Anticipated path

You should never follow closer than 2 seconds
You should be able to respond to anything within 4 seconds from you
You should be searching 12 seconds ahead at all times

Always scan the road ahead, AND left and right for your immediate path incase of emergency. In India u will have to look at the shoulder room which can be very unstable.
