| >They would never mention ‘car crashes’ They may mention an ‘incident’ or and accident but saying they report car ‘crashes’ is just YOUR catastrophisation Yes, LBC uses the word accident, "an accident at x, and accident at " etc... A word that should not be used to describe such incidents, the police don't use it any more and neither should LBC. Still, please read this. "The term ‘road accident’ exemplifies society’s tolerance of road danger. Too many still do not hold drivers accountable for their actions, implying instead it was a matter of chance. By using the word ‘accident’ – society is saying that there is nothing that can be done about these deaths and injuries, and they are an acceptable pay off for having motor vehicles." https://www.roadpeace.org/working-for-change/crash-not-accident/ |
