Were you riding around like a kn*b with your brain removed when you had your 2 accidents
I seriously doubt it
Accidents happen

Somebody needs a dictionary.

Just because an accident is somebody's fault, it doesn't necessarily stop being an accident.

This would be why the police started calling them "incidents" as opposed to "accidents" a long time ago.

I thought it was collisions. i.e RTC not RTA.
Anyhow exactly the same point lol.
It's all these stoners & dozy students in hats in their dad's cars that I blame

Collisions, ityf. But that's just a perception thing. It doesn't change the dictionary definition of 'accident'.

RTA-----Road Traffic Accident
Everyone knew exactly what it meant so no problem
RTC-----Road Traffic Collision
Confusion starts as some deskbound idiot makes a name for him/herself by changing a well established entity for the sake of it.
Not all RTAs are collisions EG you come off your bike on a bend and scrape down the road and hit nothing.Best start calling it a Road Traffic Crash then???
Best to have left it all alone in the first place.Bloody Empire Builders.
