Call it what it is 'Vehicular Manslaughter'

We seek a new language for reporting road crime. Firstly, the term ‘accident’, risks making crashes seem inevitable and unavoidable. Most often these are NOT accidents but collisions that could have been avoided. Secondly, call it what it is consistently - road deaths caused by a criminal act of another should be called Vehicular Manslaughter or in extreme cases Vehicular Homicide. Road Trauma Support Group NSW propose that Australia adopts new Road Collision Reporting Guidelines in line with best practice.
