Right. I can't speak for others, but I already admitted that this particular crash would have been difficult to avoid in that final second.
Also that it is rare.
The vast majority of overtaking traffic does so in a safe manner. The few that don't are usually easily mitigated,
especially if one is paying proper attention. One could ride a lifetime and not have all their unlucky stars line up in the unfortunate manner they did in the OP video.
A whole lot of worrying about something that is extremely unlikely to take you out.
