My first ship loss in combat since Beta

FNS Sorry-I-didn't-catch-your-name rudely refuses to grant me right of way as I forget to check my distance gauge:

You survived all this time since beta, and died because...you went full speed before all ships loaded into the instance?

Most people I know drop into combat zones full stop (and unless 1.05 changed it, dropping it sets your throttle to nothing, always, too)

Yep.

Almost all of my deaths ever are collisions, and I don't honestly expect to die any other way in the future.

This is very risky if there are hostile players inside. I once shot down a CMDR who hadn't even finished loading yet because I was afraid he was the silent running enemy I was hunting and he wouldn't resolve on my sensors. Probably safer too not boost right away if there is a 3km long capital ship 2km inside though...
