It wasn't a case of "bad driving" so far as it appears at the moment...

The title is implying that the OP thinks the driver merely had an accident while the OP's thread is merely a link to the story.

What am I supposed to make of this OP?

I've been wondering what OP means...

The title is a sarcastic way to describe weaponized cars.
I wanted to change the title to "another case of road rage".

Cars are used the same way as explosives, but easier obtainable.

A new way to kill people.
Note that it is used mainly in Europe where guns are not readily available.

Should cars/trucks be banned?

Is that like an original member title?  I've been something like that elsewhere a few times.  But that makes some sense.  Originators deserve some respect.  (*koff, koff*)  I wonder if they were on atheist forums in the streaming chat days of the 1990s...

You see "(OP)" at the beginning of every thread next to the user's name.

Yes, I saw it.  That didn't mean the meaning was obvious., explained, or evident...  And why would I care?

Well, you did ask for the meaning of "OP", so I considered that a small percentage of curiosity at least minutely relational to caring.

Yes, leaves more petroleum for non-Europeans ;-)

I apologize.  You are quite correct, I did ask.  Thank you.

Look up "false equivalence" and learn something.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."
