I'm not sure you understand, when they say "everyone hallucinates all the time" they include you and me. Those hallucinations don't have to be "big" or disruptive.
A hallucination is where your brains perception doesn't match "reality". Maybe you thought the lights flickered for a brief moment but they didn't, or may you thought you saw a shadow move.
The article explains it pretty well, it's very common with things you "expect". Such as your phone vibrating when it isn't, or after watching an insect documentary makes you feel like there's an ant on you (called Formication), or feeling a raindrop when expecting rain (only to realize your skin isn't wet).
EDIT: That is to say - hallucinations aren't usually disruptive enough to cause car accidents, most of the time we just kind of "brush it off" so to speak and forget about it.
