You just reminded me of my old driving instructor.

"All accidents are your fault. Got rear-ended? Shouldn't have been driving so slowly, or shouldn't have stopped. Got t-boned? Should have looked more closely at the intersection. Skidded on ice? Shouldn't have been driving so quickly, or turned so sharply. Yes, you avoided the pedestrian, but that isn't an excuse. In extremis, you shouldn't have been driving that day at all, and you do always have that option, so it's your fault regardless."

The line between empowerment and victim blaming is surprisingly thin. ;)
