Drop The "A" Word - Not all crashes are accidents

Thursday, August 27, 2015

State DOT's that still call crashes "accidents"

The US DOT recently re-interated its policy on why they use the word "crash" instead of "accident".  The policy was established in the 90's.   Unfortunately 21 state DOT's never got the word, and continue to use the word in their communications.  These agencies need to understand that their words are wrong, hurtful and harmful.
