> All it takes is a change in speed to avoid this accident.

Together with moving your head slightly both ways to try to look from additional angles around both sides of the pillar.

Although rarer, CBDR can occur even when reducing speed if the other vehicle also happens to reduce his speed at the same time, which can be surprisingly common on intersections where priority is unclear or there's a curve leading to it. Happened to me on a T junction on a mountain road, luckily we were at low speed and (surprise!) stopped face to face. As the article suggests: "Move your head — or you’re dead". The other vehicle speed can't vary as fast as you peeking left and right around the pillar.
