"Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message I have had
one accident in 40+ years of driving and it was literally
the other guys fault - I was rear ended at a stop light because he was
drunk off his ass.

I rest my case. :)

That is just lucky. I have been in several accidents. Only one my fault.
That was a slide on ice at about 5 mph. Had one car, that it seemed every
time I stopped or parked it, somebody nailed it. Stop light, and guy with
no brakes working. 4 times hit while parked. twice hit and run. My last
pickup got hit in a parking lot as I got ready to back out of the spot. Guy
was working 2 shifts and fell asleep while driving. Accidents are not
always avoidable. Towing a boat, it is really hard to avoid accidents, so
you need a appropriate tow vehicle. Give some distance to the next guy and
some ahole will cut in at the last moment. Especially when freeways divide.
Same aholes that pass everyone and cut in at the last possible second.
