Motorists don't have accidents, they lose control and crash and that
is what makes them guilty.
So what about when a motorist suffers a heart attack or the sudden onset of
some other medical condition that prevents them retaining control Doug?

Good question and a good reason for mandatory annual medicals. They
are still guilty though, or at the very least their vulnerable victims
should not be in any way to blame.

A driving licence is a licence to kill.

Would annual medicals prevent heart attacks?

An aquaintance of mine died of a heart attack while walking out of the
hospital, having been thoroughly tested and assured his heart was
absolutely fine. And while I was in a hospital ward, a chap who was
due to be discharged that day after a week's observation because they
found nothing wrong with heart had a heart attack in between the lunch
main course and the pudding. Luckily they were able to restart his
heart.

I believe nearly half of heart attacks happen to people who have no
specific medical indicators of raised heart attack risk. Much bigger
problem IMHO is falling asleep at the wheel.
