In my part of town, it's common for people to just walk out into the street without looking. I often encounter people doing this at night while wearing dark clothing making it damned near impossible to see them until I'm right up on them. As a general rule I drive on a high alert when I am driving in the city as I just assume (often rightly) that some dumb shit is about to run out into the road any minute.
With my luck, the one time I don't will be the time someone darts out in front of me and actually gets hit. I've had plenty of close calls.
Is it normal I always assume I will be in a car accident?

Don't know if it's normal but I assume similar.
