John,
It's not that hard to understand. When you consider that SF Bay area
drivers believe that cars entering a highway have the right of way and the
meer act of turning on your blinker guarantees you space in the next lane,
it is easy to see where a sudden avoidance manuever would be all to common
and could result in losing control.
(sorry, couldn't resist. hope this doesn't start another round of rants)
