    I got the feeling from the article that the impatient driver didn’t kill the chicken on purpose but rather accidentally, but the article doesn’t really give enough info about that

      Framing things as accidents exonerate the type of neglect that has lethal consequences. It’s time to retire the term in the context of traffic violence.

        I just feel like it means that it wasn’t on purpose

          At some point there’s a line though where it’s not an accident but a certainty, and only a matter of time.

          Same reason pointing a gun at people is generally frowned upon.

            In my country we have “endangering traffic safety” as a crime. You can be guilty of it either intentionally or due to negligence towards road rules and laws.
