Correct, but the FACT that you were speeding, intoxicated, or texting, has to be verified and proven in a COURT OF LAW, not by the simple statement of police, or observers, or members of the "Society of Opinionated BastURDS," as I call us. And until then, it is an accident. Given the rampant bias and illiteracy among the news media these days, one cannot be prudent enough about "what actually happened."
