Anticipatory self defense or preventative maintenance?
Famed American politician Daniel Webster defined "anticipatory self-defense" more than 150 years ago when he wrote that self-defense before an attack was justified if the danger was "instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means and no moment of deliberation."
Webster's words followed a 1837 naval battle called the Caroline incident, in which a U.S. ship called the Caroline was attacked by the British, just above Niagara Falls. The British said the ship's passengers supported a Canadian rebellion. Webster responded with a letter that laid out his definition. For the modern day car world, Sport and Classic Car Company have adapted Webster's concept to be more friendly and call it preventative maintenance. Why wait until a part falls off the car to replace it? It's more sensible, safer and a heck of a lot more fun to solve potential problems before inadvertently driving off a cliff.
