Avoidable and preventable is what what I was trying to stress.

they would have known their tires were under-inflated or bald.
they would have cleaned their windshield.
they would have looked before changing lanes.
they would not have been driving faster than their vision or their brakes.
they would not have been talking on the phone or texting or shaving or doing their nails.
they would not have been driving faster than weather or road conditions allowed.
they would have known there was some problem with their car and not drove it.
We could increase the list ad infinitum. (yes that's spelled correctly)
Ok. I learned something about my truck today. No, I didn't crash it.
I went out to see how much work it might be to remove the inner wall of the cab, for the purpose of adding the support necessary for a shoulder belt upgrade. I opened the door and for the first time ever, I noticed a rubber plug in the B pillar. Quickly I looked to see a matching plug on the other side of the truck. I removed the plug to find the threads and support for a 3-point upgrade. Both of my trucks have this. A 69 F250 and 70 F250.
I still don't know how much work it is to remove/replace the inner wall, but that's kind of moot now.

...Crashes are always preventable
Unless you are the reciepient of some moron's indiscretion...
In which case, hopefully you can "help" said moron out of his vehicle before any police or witnesses arrive
only if they keep their eyes on the road and drive defensevly that is the only way a crash MIGHT not happen
