🚧 It's time to change our language and mindset when it comes to road crashes. Use #CrashNotAccident . 🚗💥
#crashnotaccident let’s all sing from the same song sheet; the media probably has the biggest influence in changing this language behaviour, so simple to do. #RoadPeaceChallenge RoadPeace
Using 'accident' to describe a crash presumes no one was at fault, and implies the crash was unexpected and unavoidable. In reality, road deaths are preventable and often caused by poor driving, and the failure of our transport and legal systems. #crashnotaccident
#crashnotaccident Stop excusing dangerous & irresponsible driving choices.

Dear media: “Reckless conduct, which requires the conscious disregard of a known risk, is not an accident: It involves a deliberate decision to endanger another.” - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan Re: Voisine v. United States

Seatbelts save lives; that’s a fact. No matter how short the trip is, always wear your seatbelt when you’re in the car. Happy New Year! Drive safe, walk safe, bike safe today and throughout the year. #VisionZero #VisionZero Columbus #crashnotaccident
#crashnotaccident The #media needs to stop calling every crash as an accident. It could be a crime. Most crashes are caused by driver error based on driver choices. Impaired driving is a crime so quit saying accident!

Because we care . . .

Hey Washington Post Opinions - it's not a 'fatal accident' when 'a driver with a well-documented history of reckless behavior on the roads' kills 3 people in an 'all-but-inevitable catastrophe.'

Re-watching the movie Frida after visiting Mexico City & it turns out that the bus 'accident' that changed her life was a bus driver recklessly attempting to turn in front of a trolley. (The film wasn't too off)

This would be more accurate if it had MDOT - Ann Arbor's engineers spraying the drowning hand with more water but I'm not that good with Photoshop
