You will find that in any accident there are lots of factors that satisfy your criterion, not just one, so your explanation is ill-defined. If you want to call them all "primary causes", I guess that's fine. The rest of us call them causes.

And what about all those others?

There was some discussion of prioritising causes in the middle of August, primarily between myself, TopBunk, Dani, TripleBravo, with contributions also by lomapaseo, slip and turn, Right Way Up, on 18-19 August. Try starting with
[email protected]:15.55 and go at least to [email protected]:20.58
Before we start the discussion again, might I ask you to read those first?
