The Channel 3000 website recently adopted a policy that promotes more
objective language in stories involving crashes.  I have been hard
pressed to find the word "accident" on any story written in March, and
it seems like recent stories focus more on driver actions rather than
non-human factors.

It is a sublte shift in language, but an important step in promoting a
culture of greater road user responsibility.  I think a little positive
reinforcement is in order: If you have a spare minute for a little bike
advocacy today , please send Managing Editor David Hyland (
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ) a quick note of thanks.
