Some folks are encouraging the use of the word "collision" or "crash" instead of "accident": > Before the labor movement, factory owners would say "it was an accident" when American workers were injured in unsafe conditions. > Before the movement to combat drunk driving, intoxicated drivers would say "it was an accident" when they crashed their cars. > Planes don’t have accidents. They crash. Cranes don’t have accidents. They collapse. And as a society, we expect answers and solutions. > Traffic crashes are fixable problems, caused by dangerous streets and unsafe drivers. They are not accidents. Let’s stop using the word "accident" today. * https://crashnotaccident.com https://crashnotaccident.com * https://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,4616,7-151-9615_11261_63762---,00.html https://www.michigan.gov/mdot/0,4616,7-151-9615_11261_63762-... > If you believe these incidents are accidents then they will happen to you. Don’t just change the word; change the mentality from accident to the collision. Doing this will help you make the switch to believing they are preventable. Many people say accidents happen. Sure they do, but these are not accidents and they are preventable when you change the belief and do you best to avoid them while staying focused on the driving environment. * https://safetydriven.ca/resource/accident-or-collision/ https://safetydriven.ca/resource/accident-or-collision/ * https://www.roadpeace.org/get-involved/crash-not-accident/ https://www.roadpeace.org/get-involved/crash-not-accident/
