There will always be a chance you could be involved in an accident that you
could do nothing about. I had a psycho driver shoot out from a side road onto a
main road in front of me with no warning. They were going fast and I didn't
even have time to brake. Wrote my audi off completely. It is unrealistic to
assume that you would be able to miss all the nutters on the roads. Look in the
Daily Mail today (UK) for a picture of a nutter on the M4 motorway driving up
the middle of a carriageway in rush hour in the wrong direction. The picture
speaks for itself.
