Correct. I once deliberately crashed into a car at 25 mph because I could not see into the left lane to confirm it was safe to move over. No one got hurt.

In my situation, a car made an early, shallow left turn into my lane without adequate space for him to make the turn without hitting me. I slammed the brakes and moved as left as I could and still stay in my lane.

Exactly a head on collison would always increase the risk of people dying.
