In the case of this accident the woman on the inside should have been charged. She simply drove into the side of another car. How unaware do you have to be to do that?
On the other hand, this statement by Sousa says a lot as well.

How do you not know that there is a vehicle in the left hand lane next to you?
I swear a lot of people drive with blinders on. They see only what is in front of them. You need to constantly be aware of everything around you when you are driving a car. This comes pretty instinctively to me. I am constantly checking my mirrors without even thinking about it. Maybe that's why I have a hard time accepting that this is so hard to anyone. Driving a car involves more than just staring straight ahead.
