How come when the Enterprise goes into warp, it doesn't constantly crash into cloaked Klingon ships? Since cloaked ships can't be detected, you'd think they'd be crashing into each other constantly.

Yeah but I agree it should have happened once or twice, I think it'd have made for an interesting episode.

it doesn't happen because Klingons and Romulans are smart enough to stay out of the path of another starship

IT'S A TV SHOW.
Don't take it seriously. Just admire the story and effects.

Just because it's a TV show doesn't mean it can set up the rules of its universe and simply ignore it when it isn't convenient.
They established that the Klingon ships are plentiful, travel in the same areas as does the Federation, have flippin' INVISIBLE ships, yet never gets crashed into by anyone.

LOLOL! OK, I'd have loved an episode where they had to exchange insurance info with a Klingon ship they broadsided.

Klingon ships are invisable, but Federation ships are not, Klingons probably take some time to avoid them. Also space is really ****ing huge!!!!!!! Did I mention that? ;D

lol...dude. Seriously. Go to the Star Trek Wiki or something...because I could have my mom send down all my technical manuals and what not from my 4th/5th/6th grade years when I was a young Star Trek geek, but it'd be a bit silly. I'm sure that canon wise, they could some up with some bending of the laws of physics to deal with it.
And I'm reasonably sure that, like was said before by Karisma, they're all insured anyway. And thankfully, there aren't any condescending space cops out there to investigate the accident.

Because, the Klingon would see the Enterprise coming and move out of the way.
