Nor can it loose control.
The version posted by @sohi is the one I read.

Does it matter if you actively crash your car? Actively crashing your car would be using your car as a weapon. Which would read attack rather than crash. Objectively a driver is in control of a car, if the driver loses control, the car can crash. Losing control of the car is not in question, the question would be is the driver negligent in their actions. If you were unsure for wording the difference would be "driver crashes" compared to "driver causes crash". The driver always crashes unless they jump out of the vehicle.
As we discussed a few pages back, the Guardian may feel it is yet to be established whether the driver actively crashed the car. It may only be known that the car crashed, with the driver’s function in it unknown.
Either way, a car cannot try to brake.
