I know it's happened to me a few times, timing belt break, fuel pump go out, or run out if gas, I even had a friend reach over and cut it off because he thought it's funny. I have always maintained control and got to the side of the road and stopped or even knock it into neutral and try to restart it. Do people not know what to do when their car quits while driving? Maybe before anyone gets their license they should need to know how to do that.

how do you almost crash when your car dies? You know the steering wheel is still movable? I don't know about timing belts breaking; but I've witnessed serpentine/accessory belts breaking. I've run out of gas before, yeah so you can't control the vehicle as good as if it had power but you can still control it and not crash and the brake still works you just need to use more MUSCLE (which I guess nobody really has any left cuz of our electronics in the cars?).
I am sorry but I fail to see how a car losing power can just crash unless you're not making any effort to deal with the problem while in motion. You might not be able to get it out of gear but it CAN still move just not as far as it would in neutral.
