Look before you leap -Think of the consequences of your actions!. We are all ultimately responsible for what we do!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

First get rid of the word bad!.
Second an accident implies that no one is responsible!.

I am not exactly sure what you are wanting to say but here is what I took from your single line!.

If an individual realizes that their actions are going to result in undesirable consequences then they have no one to blame but their self because they ignored the circumstances they knew would lead to this eventuality!. To repeatedly proceed on such a course regardless would inform others to relieve such individuals from the liberty of making any decisions that could potentially effect others adversely, as these individuals have demonstrated that they are not willing to accept this responsibility for themselves!.

That is what I thought you may be trying to communicate!.
Now I will try to use a shorter sentence that is closer to what you wrote!.

-There is no point in waiting until it is already to late to correct a behavior that you know is probably wrong in the first place-!?!?!? Maybe!?

Well I tried any way!. Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it should not take a misfortune for you to realize what it is you are doing is unjust, unlawful, immoral, unethical, and whatever fits the situation!. those will cover most of it, but just pull a few words out, and apply them!. i kinda like this quote!.!.!. it is nice!.

anyway, i hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Maybe "It's better to be safe than sorry"!? That means the same thing, you're better off taking precautions in the first place than to risk it and realise later that you were wrong!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

People of intellect, and wisdom check their temptations before the mistake!. Truth!.
