On the other hand, I don't mind shouting out "Car" if one is coming down the road as I go through the intersection.

A car going a slow 45 mph is going 66 feet per second. So they can appear out of nowhere quick.
Well perhaps, but it sounds like you do go on group rides. And if you do, then unless you ride strictly on the front or off the back, you are entrusting your safety to other people. And they to you.
