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.”

    He said: “Most crashes are not ‘accidents’ but are avoidable, normally by drivers and other road users paying more attention.”

    And to take it a step further, some blame should be cast on the peoole who design roads to be as dangerous as they are.

    You can design a road that effectively forces drivers to both pay attention and drive more slowly.

    But since roads aren’t designed with safety in mind, you get far too many "accidents"🙄
