Hmmm... "favorite accidents"?

I'm not nearly as quick to assume that the accounts posted here were 
of preventable crashes.  For example, if you can explain to me how 
crashes like the one I described can *always* be avoided, I'd very 
much like to read it.

In my case, the matter of fault has no influence on my driving.  My 
objective is not to crash *at all*.  Simple.  By the time fault 
becomes an issue, it's already too late; the crash has already 
occurred.  So I just think about crash avoidance, and don't waste 
time pondering whose fault a potential crash "could" have been.

BTW, I find it amusing that some self-styled "safe drivers" are more 
concerned about the matter of potential fault than with avoiding a 
dangerous situation that could lead to a crash (witness the stance 
of left-lane bandits, for example).  Pretty ridiculous, IMHO.
