This is why you wear a seatbelt. You know there are other people on the road when you are driving, right?

You just have to anticipate the actions and reactions of the monkeys. Very rare cases, when this is not possible. If you want to minimize your risk to get hurt in an accident, it is way way more effective to minimize your participation in traffic.
