Oh for sure! No denying the luck aspect. But in many of my near misses I made my own "luck". I know for a fact I have avoided many incidents that would have turned out much different if I was not totally aware of what was going on and in complete control of my vehicle. Like I said above there are times when there are no options and all I am trying to convey here why reduce your options by adding extra reaction time to a situation.
Now if I get hit today you know I am gonna hold you guys totally responsible.
