I too have seen countless examples of DWO.
There was a newspaper story here in Wisconsin a couple years ago of a little old lady from Iowa who got into here car one morning to go to the grocery store a few blocks away from here house. She got lost and later that night, ultimately ended up in a nearby town here in Wisconsin almost 200 miles from home. Someone that out of it simply is not capable of safely operating a car.

Young as in 16, or young as in 20s? There is a difference.
Curious to know what percentage of accidents are caused by people avoiding other people, thus the ones doing the stupid thing don't end up at fault. In the OP's example, what if he had hit another car swerving to avoid the one that was about to hit him. The OP would have gone down as at fault, not the one who set off the chain reaction.
