"He's a safe driver, he's never had an accident .....120mph in town"

That's clever. He's a safe driver because HE doesn't get hurt. He just
causes others to react to what he's doing (possibly crash themselves).

A cycle at 120mph in town is basically an unpredictable occurrence for
the other drivers he swoops past. Unpredictable drivers cause OTHERS
to have the accidents. Clever but still indefensible.

(Example: the motor home driver who passed in a tunnel here in colorado
and caused a collision between a gasoline tanker and a caddy resulting
in the loss of 3 lives. But the motor home driver didn't have and 
accident and so must be a safe driver.......)
