Being predictable is good advice, but I don't think that's the point. The reality is you're never gonna get people to behave predictably 100% of the time. And even in a perfect world where everybody was acting predictably, accidents would probably still happen on the Hempstead Turnpike. The real issue is planning and designing roads in a way that's safe for everyone, not just cars.
Of course some don't behave predictably. That's why there are collisions. My advice still stands. If you don't want others to drive into you, behaving predictably greatly improves your odds.
