Yeah, but this is where being sensible and defensive as a driver really pays off. We may have hot & fast cars, but it is still the public road with everyone else who treats cars like an appliance (do you ever wax & polish your laundry machine?). There are the few things I follow that helped me avoid these situations (especially living in carmeggaden Los Angeles).

1) Never drive angry.
2) Pay attention to the cars, not the people in the cars (even boobs can cost you a bumper).
3) Looking at something 500ft away is just as important as looking at the car in front of you.
