    A 3 car length distance at 120 km/h is way too close. There should be at least 3 seconds between you and the car in front.

    I don't care if it was the Monaco Grand Prix, he was too close.

    The fact that other people drive too close as well changes nothing. In fact it's even more reason for driving properly. It gives you time to slow more gradually and prevent the arsewhole whose tailgating you from causing an unnecessary crash ( I delierately avoid using the word accident here).

    Not on the road, it's now an incident (in the UK). Ask the people who have to go clear up the mess. They don't attend an RTA now, they attend an RTI.

    There are no accidents anymore coz there is always at least someone or something at fault. If it's something at fault, then it's someone's fault that the thing went wrong.

    that means there's no such thing as an accident then, as i've never heard an "act of god" referred to as an accident.


    what if theres a wild animal involved?




    there is = there's or theres?

    Depends just how wild it is.

    What annoyed it.

    "there's" coz you dropped the "i". Same as "wasn't", didn't" etc.

    However you have a problem with tense, assuming the incident is not currently taking place.
