As someone who has almost exceeded the 1-million mile mark in my driving experience, almost all of it in northern climates where snow and sleet is common during winter, I'm amazed by the expertise claimed by so many with so little experience. For the record, I've never been in an accident that was my fault. The only two were once when I was stopped at a red light and the guy behind me didn't and hit me. The other one a girl ran a stop sign about 60' in front of me and slammed into my car. Is it somehow feasible that I could've someway done SOMETHING to be in a different spot at that time? Maybe. But realistically I was driving defensively, driving safely, and driving within the law. That's why they are called accidents.
