> I can think of many cases where there was not a fuckup yet vehicles collide.

And yet the examples are extreme cases, which while do happen, are very rarely the cause of crashes.

The vast majority of crashes is not because someone had a seizure, it's because they weren't paying attention or were incompetent.




Right, but if you actually read the parent comment you will notice that "_always_" was used and even emphasized, along with "there are no accidents", and the only example provided of a non-accident is a non-car crash example of a meteorite. My examples are much more plausible, and the list goes on. I came up with those examples in like 5 seconds. The point is that there are lots of cases where it truly was an accident.
