"Constable official vocab guidelines state we longer refer to these incidents as 'accidents', they're now 'collisions'...Accident implies there's nobody to blame."
Sergeant Nicholas Angel, Hot Fuzz
I remember in primary school, an actual police officer told us pretty much the same thing during one of those road safety classes. Road traffic collisions are almost never accidents, always incidents.
This. Most collisions aren't accidents. Most incidents are from reckless behavior.
That's a funny definition of 'accident'.
