I wouldn't call hitting a deer an accident either. Again, to me, an accident involved an error. Say a driver, failing to notice a car in his blind spot, switches lanes, thinking the way is clear, and causes a collision. That's an accident. The driver made a mistake.

Asteroids and deer are just natural occurences, and there's nothing a driver can do sometimes to avoid it. In my case, I made a sketchy left turn, thinking all the lanes had stopped, when in fact one car was speeding through the red light. I got the summons because, making a left, I didn't have the right of way. The other driver wasn't smart to blow through a red light either. But that's fine. I understand the rule.

Anyway, accidents, in my view, involve an error.

You need a course in reading comprehension...Maybe you are having trouble seeing....I said this:

""Wrong again. An accident is a deer running into the side of your vehicle""...

Again, to me, an accident involved an error.

You seem dense on this subject...

Errors are caused by something. In your case it was not paying attention and neglect....

I made a sketchy left turn

No such thing....

You neglected to pay attention, and failed to yield to on-coming traffic.

Gezzzz...
