I was in a major wreck last winter. Hit a tree head-on due to black ice on the road. I was not braking or turning at the time of the slide. My car had snow tires and was in 4-wheel drive.

How exactly is that my fault?

You make no men to on of environmental factors causing wrecks.

You also make no mention of multi-car wrecks.

Clearly you live in some part of the world with perfect weather?

Attempting to refute a point that no one else made is definitely your own fault.

The original commenter can be reasonably assumed to know which accidents they witnessed could have been influenced by things like weather, and thus are not part of his assertion.

Likewise all the follow-on vehicles in multi-vehicle events are irrelevant. No mention was made because they obviously have no bearing on the observation and point being asserted. Meaning, sure, in addition to a large number of a certain class of accidents he's talking about, there are also a other classes of accidents he's not talking about, so what?

Clearly you live in some part of the world with imperfect schools? Oh was that rude and childish?

Hate to break it to you, but you were going too fast.
