A road traffic accident is when an incident occurs involving one or more vehicles. Contrary to the earlier comment, yes there are accidents.
Accidents are usually caused by the negligence of one or more people; however on occasion things just happen that are simply unavoidable.
Any incident that is contrary to the highway code
It must occur on the public highway. There must be a collision and it was not done on purpose, hence an accident. Known as RTA to the emergency services.
They're not accidents any more because that implies nobody is to blame.
Its a accident between two or more vehicles that happened on the public highway and usually are caused by not keeping a save distance from the vehicle in front or erratic driving or other breach of the highway code
They are now referred to (in the UK) as road traffic collisions (RTC's).
They are defined in law (more or less 'word for word') as:
'Owing to the presence on a road or public place' an accident occurs whereby damage is caused to property other than the drivers, buildings, street furniture, anything on or by the road including hedges and trees'. This includes damage to cattle, horses, asses (the horsey type variety), mules, pigs, sheep, dogs, goats'
I presume its an involuntary collision of things on road such as cars , bikes , people ,,dogs, cows , horses , birds , police , objects unspecified . whatever something unplanned as in accident ... ..
