Sorry to hear about your accident! This nearly happened to me this past weekend. Was just driving straight in my lane when an oncoming car attempted to make a left turn directly in front of me. Thankfully I got on my brakes and horn and managed to avoid a collision.
I don't want to say curse, but these cars definitely have a low profile (literally). After two different cars this morning didn't see me in their blindspot and nearly swerved into me, I looked over at my wife and told her I needed an even louder exhaust. She just rolled her eyes.
When driving my GTI (which is a good 7" higher) on the same commute, I'd say I get about half the amount of near collisions.
