That's like the advice "always take a parachute, when going on a flight". It's simply too rare, to always think about it.

@soulanstreets222 Right. This awareness can just lead to anxiety disorder, if you think too much about such risks. On planes, people with awareness of possible accidents, most often avoid the plane, instead of informing about emergency exits.

@soulanstreets222 It does. To inform yourself about emergency exists, includes permanent thinking, everytime you enter a vehicle of any kind, to think on possible accidents. You cannot know without thinking. It's like, everytime you take a knife, you think "Oh, I could cut my finger, I should be careful". Life is not possible this way. Your theory is correct, but people are unable to pick the right amount of awareness. Too little is risky, Too much too.

@soulanstreets222 I know, just saying most people can't handle "normal". The path between risk ignorance and hypochondriac is extremly narrow. If you tell people, to be aware, 90% of the people following your advice develope anxiety. Risk avoidance has to be done by intuition. You learn about it, but it should influence your behaviour, it shoudn't be part of daily thinking.

You don't need to assume the worst in first place. Maybe the driver had a heart attack.

Where is the idea, a bus could swim coming from ? Especially when dipping in a steep angle, one open window is enough ...
