Depth Perception Issue

Since returning from Korea on Sunday I have noticed a depth perception issue. It is more difficult to judge the oncoming speed of vehicles and whether or not it is safe to pull out in front of another car. Even coming to a stop for a stop sign, yes, sadly I am one of the few who does this, I find myself just a little bit off the mark and braking late.

I'd say that it has something to do with being slightly traumatised by Korean taxi drivers who think nothing of flying along 20-30 km/h above the speed limit in town and weaving through the traffic if not driving through red lights. I can't judge whether the guy coming towards me is doing 60-65 or 90 km/h.

I hope this is a temporary affliction.
