I get a bit touchy about that one. 5 years ago, my girlfriend got hit head on by a tri-axle dump truck on her way to work. He was in her lane because he was going way too fast on a wet road and didn't make the curve. During the previous 2 week period, this driver was bragging on social media about how fast he drove his truck complete with a picture of the speedometer bouncing off the pin at over 80 miles per hour.
Calling something like this an 'accident' euphemizes it. That makes a judgement. Something like 'oh, it was just an accident' as if nobody did anything wrong and it is to be excused because it was only an accident. No blame, no responsibility, and no fault. But, there WAS!

My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
