I had some little books of deep,deeper and deepest thoughts growing up. They were great. I'm so glad I can remind people these exist.

It's a little early as you don't even have your kid yet, but there are a couple books I found really helpful as a new dad:

No-Drama Discipline for helping frame frustrating situations and to give me some tools to deal with them in positive and productive ways.

Parentspeak: What's wrong with how we talk to our children because I really needed to be more aware of how the things I say shape the developing mind of my kid. I'm not saying this one is for everyone, and some people reject it out of hand because they don't believe that seemingly innocuous words impact their kids, but I found it gave me a lot of things to think about.

The book Reefer Madness Has an entire third of it about farming strawberries. Without people to do the work for next to nothing, Strawberries would cost $20.00 a pound.

I see your point. Little mistakes can happen to anyone and some small slips can have grave consequences, that's why sometimes simple actions require checklists, given the disastrous impact an error can have, no matter how improbable.

Still, in this case, I maintain you're totally inept. This cannot happen unless you're still unlicensed, a noob training and not legally able to drive [in which case it wouldn't be your fault, as someone is responsible for your training].
Or, you know... if you're an imbecile.
