This is really a big step in my opinion, as language choices can shape opinions, as the article states “a ‘significant step forward’ in recognizing the preventable nature of road collisions.”

    Casually everybody will obviously carry on saying “accident” for now, but I wonder how fast it will filter down from official language to every day language. Would be interesting to watch the trend over the next few decades. Like how people still say “road tax”.
