Police have interviewed the driver at the centre of a tragic crash that killed five people in the regional Victorian town of Daylesford, but no charges have been laid.
Blowing a tire is unlikely to cause this level of loss of control at residential speeds. It also wouldn’t make the car speed up and the driver could hit the brakes.
I believe we are in agreement. “super low odds” and “unlikely” mean the same thing. But those odds are not zero - which was my point. It was also an example, you can substitute that example with heart attack/sneezing fit/swerving for an animal/whatever takes your fancy. Roads are a dangerous place.
No arguments with that. But the question posed wasn’t “should beer gardens be located on the side of a road with no bollards?”, rather ‘should diabetics be allowed to drive?’.

Roads can be a dangerous place, but beer gardens shouldn’t be.

I think it’s clear this particular diabetic wasn’t managing their condition.
