Thumbs up Use of " Unless"

Hi 2 all members.
can we use 'Unless ' in all types of Conditional Sentences.For instance, is it correct to say: Unless you had driven carefully, you would have caused an accident.

Thanks

Default Re: Use of " Unless"

We wouldn't use 'unless' there. It's very rare to see it used with the third conditional.
