Oh dear, have we all become so jaded by the ambulance chasers? The
sentiment behind the statement is that accidents happen because people
take their eye off the ball. Accidents don't just happen, they are
caused by lack of attention and or poor planning.

Of course they can just happen. A high speed blowout for example can happen
for any number of reasons completely out of control of the driver - a tyre
manufacturing fault, some debris blown onto the road, a recent pothole.
Anyone who thinks there's always someone to blame is either a legal
parasite or living on another planet.

Tyre manufacturing fault. Faults don't just happen. Caused.
Debris blown on the road. Debris left lying about. Caused.
Recent pothole. It would have to be pretty big to cause a blowout, so
unreported, unseen or uninspected. Caused.

Accidents don't just happen.
