Have you heard the radio commerical that says "Most car accidents involve driver error"?

About 85% of crashes involve some driver factor. It's not always an error. Sometimes it's a medical condition or something like that.

About 35 percent include road or environmental factors, and 12% include vehicle related factors.

These add up to more than 100% because most crashes have more than one cause, like if you go off the road while speeding on a wet road with bad tires.

Yes! I have heard that most car accidents DO involve driver error. What's your point? What did you think caused most car accidents; stray electrons from Mars?

I don't believe in the concept of traffic 'accidents'. If blame can be assigned in a traffic incident then it can hardly be labelled an accident.
