We of course can talk to the ATC, or the other aircraft before it is a close call.

I have not had an accident since 1970, when I was 16 and a new driver. One of the hottest girls in my high school was walking in front of the school, in a mini skirt that was very short, and dang she looked good. The wrong head was taking control, and some fool in front of me stopped at the red light. I rear ended him at 5 MPH as I was in a 4 wheel skid trying to stop.

I learned that day, keep your eyes on the road, not the stunning hot co-eds that my hormones wanted to look at, and use my big head to control the car.
A former coworker of mine hit a car head on because he was checking out a hot college coed tanning in the park. Turns out the other driver was too and they both had drifted to the center. The cop just laughed at them and put in his report that they swerved to avoid a dog.
