You guys are right, you can't prepare for it when it's random.
However, I still think that situational awareness (SA) can help even if it's a split second reaction. During my last tour downrange, SA was key to our convoy getting around Kabul and the countryside safely. Our team was in constant lookout for anything suspicious. Granted we were trained that way.

do you look at EVERY vehicle that passes you on the interstate?

As a matter of fact I do glance at them, whether I'm passing them or they are passing me. It takes less than a second.
I think you guys are taking SA the wrong way. Situational awareness is not some protective bubble or magic like Frank says. SA is a component that you can use, that may help you avoid trouble.
Well you all have a safe 4th of July. I'm out.
