Analog, I gota disagree with you. Poorly times/executed manuvers are not accidents. Mistakes perhaps, but not accidents. Accidents are anything that you had no control whatsoever over.

If you are doing an approproate speed, and a deer jumps in front of your car 5 feet away from you, and the deer was hidden by hedgerow... Thats an accident.

Otherwise, its driver error.

Its too bad they dont investigate "car accidents" the same way they do "Airplane accidents". 99% of the plane accidents are attributed to pilot error. I think that car accidents are the same way.
