This is not true, not even as a piece of pre-emptive practical guidance. Very few motorists are actively aggressive towards you. They all know that hitting you--whether from the front, from the side, or from behind--will be a lot more trouble for them than it's worth.
By all means, exercise skill and caution, but don't be unnecessarily alarmist.
