This is really a big step in my opinion, as language choices can shape opinions, as the article states “a ‘significant step forward’ in recognizing the preventable nature of road collisions.”

    The police in the UK have called them “road traffic incidents” for at least 15 years now

      Incident still sounds too close to accident. I vote we call it “consequences”.

        Yeah I like that, and then we can grade the consequences as Code Brown, Code Yellow, Code Red.
