The comments keep coming in. It is interesting as it is motorist vs. motorist and the safe/defensive drivers sounds just like cyclist on these forums. Take this comment for example. Hard to believe it is not written by a cyclist:
"The most important thing I do while driving is watch who is behind me. They are just as important as the people and/or objects in front of me. You need to know who's coming up on you and driving like a jacka**, and you need to know your escape routes when someone suddenly stops in front of you. I usually look in my rearview mirrors habitually every 5-10 seconds, and I'm rarely surprised by anyone because of it. This has helped me avoid SO many accidents I cannot count them."
