Yes, I've had that happen.

I once made a safe stop at a red light.
I started to fiddle with the radio and started to hear tires squealing.
Next thing I know a guy blows past me sideways spinning into the 
intersection.
Apparently he anticipated that I would run the light and he would 
follow.  Then when he looked up again he almost hit me.

I lucked out that day.
