Is this really something you go through?

In ~35 years of driving, I've never experienced this.

If you are having near-death driving experiences 40 times per year, something is wrong.

Not the OP, and well, it's been a year and a half, but I regularly encountered unguided automotive cruise missiles in my morning drive down 237 in the bay area, with Tesla drivers being _particularly_ bad about sitting there playing with their phones. This is not a "life flashing before your eyes" situation, but it is a "this is very concerning" situation.

Perhaps I misunderstood the OP, but I didn't think they were talking about Tesla drivers paying no attention to the road and being absorbed on the phone, just their own driving experience of getting into near-accidents all the time.
