I've often wonder about these head on collisions. They don't give a

headlight coming at you, I'd think it would be smart to go off to the

center median and shoulder.

Unless it took them a long time to respond it looked light daylight, no
visibility problems, and plenty of room to get off the road. Even
without going off road, it has two lanes like any other undivided highway.
Most headons occur without warning. A sudden swerve into oncoming
traffic, a blind curve, a moment's inattention.

True. I vaguely remember the days before I-80 was running through Nebraska. Highways
6 and 34 were the main east-west roads. Both two lane. It seemed like the local tv news had
at least one head-on collision every evening to talk about.
