I do not know if this is real but in Hot Fuzz (there goes the credibility) the main protagonist insists that traffic accidents are actually collisions. The name accident implies that there is no culprit but I believe in vast majority of fatal crashes there is a faulty party. Some older statistics I read claimed that (in UK I think) 30% of crashes were due to alcohol and another 30% to fatigue. In these cases for example there is a culprit and the crash was no accident. For me, accidents are cases when a mechanical part breaks or an oil spill makes the vehicle incontrollable. But people crashing into each other because of alcohol, fatigue, boredom, distraction or speed should be responsible for their acts and should not claim being in an accident.
