  Yea I get real tired of hearing the term car accident. Sure accidents can happen, but 99.99% of the time one or both parties in a collision weren’t paying attention and crashes occurred because a shit driver made the wrong move. People get complacent because they can play bumper cars and have little consequence, I think people should be ticketed in accidents more often. For example the 16 screws in my left arm are because a company truck driver “accidentally” took a left over double yellows without waiting for traffic to clear. CLEAR traffic violation, but nah let’s just chalk that up to a standard whoopsie daisy. Now home dudes gonna do the same thing in 3 months next time he gets impatient trying to make a turn.

    i noticed a shift in my 20+ years as a firefighter- we use to say “mva” for motor vehicle accident. now we say “mvc” for “crash” etc. i wonder if someone tried to claim it was an accident, even the fd said so. 🤷‍♀️
