Mike, i can't agree with you at all. I'm a careful driver, luckily in my 11 years of driving have only been in 2 wrecks, none of which were my fault nor was i found at fault. There are circumstances where an "accident" is that, an accident. Are there times where it's not an accident and it's a crash as a result of erratic driving/behavior, yes, but not ever wreck is a crash JUST SOLELY based off of the person's history or a "driving too fast for conditions". Black ice is called black ice for a reason because it's damn near invisible until you actually hit it. The time i hit it in ATL about 2 years ago, i was only lucky that the black ice didnt extend so far that i didnt continue going and curb my wheels and whatever else could have been damaged.
I understand defensive driving, hence why i'm never following close behind someone and if i am, i know who and what is around me very well, but i know there are times where you just can't avoid a situation. I don't get at all this perfectionist frame of mind all of IA has
