Poll: By "When I say I take full responsibility, I mean:"

There are no wrong answers, I just want to understand what people mean by it, and what the trends on BF are. If you do not

Here are some explanations of the choices

1- I take full legal responsibility
If I am injured or my property is damaged, I will pay for it, I will not pursue any civil or criminal action against the other person, even if I followed the law, and the other party "broke every law in the book".

2- I take full moral responsibility
If I am injured or my property is damaged, I will not be angry at the other party, I will forgive them, if there is a God I will ask him/her/them to forgive the other party, and I will discourage others from blaming the other party should the occasion arise, even if I followed the law, and the other party "broke every law in the book".

3- It is an attitude: I do not mean it literally
I will do everything in my power to avoid an accident, regardless of fault. I realize that there are things beyond my control; I will focus on what is in my control, like following the law, using sound, established riding principles, and being aware of, and ready to respond to, potential mistakes on the part of others. If I follow every law, and the other party didn't, I will likely pursue action to recover any damages if I feel it would be advantageous to me.
