"The whole world is trained to look straight ahead," says Ms. Cullen,
I was trained to look to the sides and also behind when driving, not just stare straight ahead.
If you're not aware of what's going on around you, then you are a menace on the road.

If you're not aware of what's going on around you, then you are a menace on the road. In Tennessee, they pay a GREAT deal of attention to the rear end of the car they're following. Tailgating capitol of the world.

The article also mentions that people have confusion regarding right of way. My experience is that people aren't "confused" about right-of-way, they just assume to have it no matter what, even if changing lanes without signaling (I've had a number of occasions where I was honked at because I didn't know to move out of the way of someone doing just that -- even though I couldn't see them).
