How about, a car came alive and went out of control (as opposed to a driver
lost control of their car as they had a licence they got out of a weetbix
box and don't know how to drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Yep; it's usually reported like: "a man was injured as his car left the
road and carreened through a shopping mall". Poor ******* just happened
to be in the driver's seat when this inevitable event happened.

the word *"accident"* is the greatest codswollop spin for any motorised
cage occupied by a human crunching anything or anyone...

in the same vein that people get shot by guns and stabbed by knives,
hit by kitchen rollers ... its just -hutzpah- ..like the jewish kid who
killed his parents and asked the court for mercy in sentencing as he was
now an "Orphan" !

On a similar theme, that recent bingle btw a 4WD and a crowded Melb
market? WTF was going on there?


The driver was hospitalised and sounded like he may have had some sort of
seizure or heart attack. Police were investigating whether this was the
case. Sadly such things occasionally occur. My mother was driving and had a
heamorage in the brain, just before her death. Her foot involuntarily hit
the accelerator. Luckily it was near home, she just clipped a light pole,
the front stub axle broke and the car skidded across the road to come to a
halt against the kerb. No-one was nearby and she didn't hit anything head
on.

Hope all the people injured in the market are on the way to a speedy
recovery.

Accident :

1.
1. An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one
resulting in damage or harm: car accidents on icy roads.
2. An unforeseen incident: A series of happy accidents led to
his promotion.
3. An instance of involuntary urination or defecation in one's
clothing.
2. Lack of intention; chance: ran into an old friend by accident.
3. Logic. A circumstance or attribute that is not essential to the
nature of something.


As long as the driver of the car did not intend to cause a collision,
it's an accident.

But if you are breaking the road rules then it is not an unexpected
event.
