Fault is a funny word... quite often the d1ckhead that causes the incident due to illegal action or blind foolishness is protected by the "rules of fault". Yeah, pulling out in front of a speeder and getting smoked is probably legally your fault. Speeding so fast and not seeing or caring about a car that is turning in front of you and slamming your brakes at the last second makes you a d1ckhead, but probably not legally liable for the collision.

I wish I had the power to certify people as d1ckheads so that all future accidents are simply their fault.

I won't say that most people that drive big vehicles drive like neanderthals, but most neanderthals definately drive big vehicles.
