Worst part is if you did rear end them in that situation, you're the guilty party for insurance etc.

Exactly. It both pisses me off and terrifies me every single time. And it happens at least once almost every time I drive. I honestly don't understand it. I've never been in a place where so many people refuse to use turn signals.

Many people need a near death experience to teach them respect for the mass and energy involved in driving.

I had a bad crash over a decade ago where somebody ran into me at low-ish speeds. It was head on though, and it was more than enough for me to remember for life. I wasn’t a bad driver or anything before that though.

the best way to teach people how mass and inertia works in a car, is to put them in the passenger seat, get up to highway speeds, and then send the brake pedal to the floor.

They won't be able to breathe.
