“Never go downstream of a low head dam. Actually just don’t go near one at all. They’ve earned the nickname “The Drowning Machine.” This is because the structure combined with the current creates an inescapable “drowning zone” of a rotating current. They are incredibly strong and nearly impossible to escape from. Should you fall in, no one will rescue you. It’s just too dangerous.”

#12 There most certainly is a way to protect yourself from other bad drivers. It's called, 'Situational Awareness.' It's what smart people do instinctually, when surrounded by idiots.

Russ,
It only helps to a degree. Takes only 1 idiot to speed through a red light and it's over.

#12 it's also called Defensive Driving, and I, at least, check there aren't any cars coming late when my light turns green.
I also don't tail gate; look both ways when crossing a one way street; check that there aren't any cars coming if I'm about to walk past a big rain puddle, etcetera etcetera.
