In the late 1980's, when I took my drivers' eduaction class in order to get my licence, our instructor gave us a message that all drivers need to hear.

As a driver, it is your responsibility - your duty - to protect those around you who have less protection and move slower than you. That means conscious action to ensure you do not hurt others - driving at all times as if someone's life depends on it. If you cannot accept that responsibility, you do not deserve to be given control of such a dangerous tool as a motor vehicle.

There are no accidents. There are only collisions.

Any accident takes more than one party doing something wrong and you can avoid any collision by driving defensively and being aware of your surroundings at all times.

Far too many view driving a car as a right or a default position. As a result far too many of us are losing their lives and livelihoods. It is well past time to stop making excuses for those who fail to properly exercise their duty to protect others.
