If bad things are happening and you believe in any of those things, you had better take a long hard look at yourself and make some 'lifestyle' changes. It's going to be real hard to see...it might even take years before it becomes sort of clear. (Of course you might not be bothered by the cost or care that others contribute to cover your expenses by paying insurance premiums and taxes.)

I got bumped in the rear by a 91 Mercury because I had to use my BMW's brakes at 90% to avoid the car in front. I didn't hit it but I normally see what's going to happening and brake for me and the car behind. Anyway technically it's the car following that is at fault but I'll take some of the responsibility. It was partly my fault. Luckily the old car had a very well designed bumper and didn't even scratch my Bimmer. Was this an accident...no, it was a mistake. Wrong place at the wrong time and not paying enough attention. Won't happen again if I can help it. (And I can!)
