For most drivers, whether they are as cautious as us or not, are simply not going to be able to avoid being the victim of a hit in rear collision when that time comes.
Even if you slam on the breaks and someone hits you from behind, the person that hits you is likely the last person who could have avoided that accident if they had left a safe distance between

Agreed, the rear enders are the hardest to avoid.
That particular one was on a rainy day.
Coming up to an intersection and the light went yellow.
Guy in front of me and I start slowing for it.
I check my 6 as I always do and there's a guy in a lifted 4x4 barreling down on us.
It was obvious given the conditions and how fast he was closing he was not going to be able to stop so I leaned on the horn like a mother f'r and crawled up the guys ass in front of me forcing him to run the yellow.
We both pulled into the right lane on the other side of the intersection as the guy behind me blew by us doing a good 40-50.
Guy who I forced through understood right away and actually gave me a thumbs up.
