Another thing we can all do is to refer to the people who do these things rather than inanimate objects. The driver swiped you dammit with his/her car!
The driver didn't see the child crossing the road not the car didn't see him
This de-personlising language we all use lets people off the hook. It's like using the term accident rather than collision/crash.
