That's the point I was making - they can 'appear' to be freak events but they're actually often the culmination of serious and habitual negligence/recklesslness on the part of a hard core of drivers who like to drive as if they're in a GP. Sooner or later the inevitable occurs and we have carnage. The sad part is that these people can't be educated becuase they think it'll never happen to them, they're just too good to make a mistake.....
