    Calling collisions in traffic “accidents” is just a euphemism. Nearly all of them are completely preventable and were caused by incompetence, negligence, or deliberate belligerence.

    Anything of that ilk truly being an accident is a tiny minority of all incidents. Things like a tree falling on your car while you’re driving along, or an undetectable defect in a component causing your wheel to fall off.
