Maybe walking across the street close to the local bar just after closing time while wearing black clothes wasn't the smartest thing in the world to do. Maybe when you saw that oncoming car weaving back and forth across the center line when you were driving, it would have been prudent to move over to the right as far as possible and reduce your speed. More generally, remember the old adage that applies to drivers and, especially, to pedestrians "you can be dead right, or dead wrong; you're dead either way". This is very similar in intent to the advice given women on how to avoid sexual assault; protect yourself first, and worry about who is in the wrong later.
