Naomi - that's because you possess an above-average level of intelligence which in turn gives you an ability to think beyond your immediate orbit.
A lot of people - and this man is one of them - simply are unable to think outside their own immediate situation, or to empathise with what is going on around them.
It is this inability to see outside and beyond that causes the lack of anticipation that causes the majority of road accidents.
Every day driving onto my estate, I pass a junction where a resident parks his car on the corner. Any drive pulling onto the road I am on will have to pass this car, into my path, so anticipation dictates that they wait a moment while I pass, and the road is then clear.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, the driver will pull out, then have to brake because he has no-where to go - patent lack of anticipation.
It's the world we live in.
