Well, of course everyone does.

Ha!

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

In the end this is what it boils down to - was Jenner negligent?

Accidents happen. Bad accidents happen.

I don't want to get too technical, but in the US and all states as I understand it, if you rear-end someone you are at fault. It doesn't matter if they negligently squeaked into a space they shouldn't have been able to do so, you are at fault if you hit the rear bumper. Period.

I still haven't heard a good why/how this happened, and I'll reserve judgement until I do. It may (or may not) come to pass that Jenner was technically at fault whereas whoever it was in front of him really drover poorly. Or maybe he was texting. I don't know. All I know is I haven't heard anything definitive. Not that I have much dog in this argument, but let's see where the dust settles.

I definitely think he was at fault for the accident but it was just that, an accident. He was tested for alcohol and none was found. He gave his phone up and it did not appear he was talking or texting, though I don't think it can tell if you are reading a text. He did react in time to not rear end the car. He's 65 year old, lots of 65 year olds have bad reflexes even if they were an Olympic gold medal winner at 20.

If women had apostrophes instead of periods they would be even more possessive!

Your first sentence was correct.  Everything after that is semantics.  Getting in to your car should bring a level of alertness that doesn't allow for inattention on your part or of the vehicles around you.  Any lapse on your part, whatever your intention, is still a lapse on your part.  Therefore, anything that happens has a cause and can't be an accident.

Really? Semantics? Of course everything has a cause. Next time you damage your car in a car cause, call you call your insurance company and tell them you want to file a Cause report, see how fast you get it fixed :)

The misnaming of things, laws, procedures, events, etc. ad infinitum is a failure to understand the language used to name them.  So the fact that insurance companies call them accident reports is a misuse of the language.  Good to see you agree with me though :)
