Please don't call them 'kin accidents. They are collisions, rarely if ever accidents.
We're not supposed to call them RTAs in A+E any more, they're road traffic collisions/incidents now. (In fact we're not supposed to call it A+E any more, it's the ED)
Some things can genuinely be an accident and there is no blame to be attributed but this is rarely the case. Was there talk of a liability law which made the driver of the larger vehicle responsible for the accident until proven otherwise. I can see that going down like a lead balloon with motorists.
