Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

I'm so proud to say I've never wrecked a car, hit a car, run into a car, or in anyway interacted with a car in a violent way. Haven't even killed anybody.

I've been out driving for 4 months now. (Stupid late guy at getting his temps... I should have had my license last month. )

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

Since I am only 15 right now, I can't drive...legally by myself. So, I will tell ya'll 'bout my first FIRST "accident". OK, it was like late Jan or early Feb and I was on the grinder. As most of us know, a grinder can take a piece of metal right out of your hand. And let me say instead of grinding the piece of metal I "ground" a piece of my finger nail. It really really hurt. It left my nail black and blue for awhile, but I am over it now. So, what's your first accident? HAHA

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

Six months after I got my license, I was coming home from a theatre event. On the main street getting back to my house late. Rainy. Hit a pot hole. Tire came off the rim and my car lost control and went/rolled into a ditch coming close to hitting a tree by like an inch. Needless to say, the car died. My poor 88 hunk of steel.

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

I never really got into an accident, although I almost did the following:

Flip over (turned into a 5-lane a little to sharp)
Hit a lightpost (Over at K-Marts...'nuff said)
Slam into the back-end of my grandma's car
Flip over (again) (driving behind school...there's so many islands there)

That's it.

I was in a few accidents, but none by me.

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

About a year and a half ago, and it was a four car incident on I-95 North toward Baltimore. A car in the fast lane just cut into my lane. If I hadn't been paying attention, it would have been a really, really bad accident, since I was going 70 mph and everyone else was going that or faster (and the traffic was very heavy). Since I was paying attention, however, I saw the car heading straight for the front end of my car, and slammed on my breaks. I also jerked my steering wheel a bit, which was almost a bad thing as I then had to fight to keep my car in my lane. I had slowed down to about 20 miles an hour when the car behind me slammed into me and behind her, two other vehicles collided. In some ways I was very lucky, I wasn't injured (nor was anyone else) and it was the other driver's fault so no insurance problems, and it only took a week to get my car back (over $3,000 damage). But I've only driven on those main roads once since the accident, and I had a panic attack while doing so, and I don't know how to overcome my fear of driving. I have no problem with one and two lane roads, but more than that and I stress out. I know, I'm a wimp.

A funny note on the accident, every driver had digital cameras with them, so we were all out there snapping photos of the accident.

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

My first accident happened my senior year of high school, after an offseason sunday robotics meeting. Backing outa a spot i wasn't paying attention cuz i was thinking about something else, and turned to hard and broke off the decorative fake headlight on the front right side of my car and scratched up the side of the car next to me pretty good, i've got digital pictures somewhere of the damage, if i can find them i'll share them.

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

My only accident happened the 2 days before leaving for nationals this past year. I'm gonna leave out the details cause I hate remembering it . Lets just say the car and the end of the gaurdrail that has the round part on it got in a little arguement about whether or not I needed my rear drivers side door....and the gaurdrail won and it also felt it necessary to spin the car and pop all four tires and bend the axel. . In other words car=totaled

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

my first accident is i got hit in the back of my car by this old guy at Jewel parking lot...the paint was comin off or cracked and there was sum dents , and it was this big case where he kept sayin its my fault when it really wasnt. Isnt' it when u get hit in the back of ur car its always the person behind you's fault? This guy was crazy...so my insurance went high sky like 50 dollars or w/e. When i got hit...i was scared liek all scared lol i didnt know wht to start with first like i didnt know wht information to give him like insurance card or w/e lol When i got home i thought my parents would kill me but they understood that it was the guy that caused the accident and not me. So i had to explain everything that happened to my mom and the insurance lady. it was the most stressful thing lol

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

I had my first and only accident during the 03 robotics season. I was going to robotics, of all places, and I was at a stop sign. These guys pulled up behind me a little too close and bumped me, then they proceeded to drive off. Some guy got their license plate number, but I decided it'd be a lot more trouble than it was worth because just a little of the paint was scratched off.

Oh man, if anybody ever hit me and ran, God help them... Even though my truck is rusty and 1/2 in primer, (Paintjob this month? Wewt!) I still bought it with my own money and love it to death.

If someone hit me and ran I would be after them in a second, see if they like it.

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

Kids these days
I got my licence in June 1972 and did not have my FIRST accident till Feb 1988. Slick road and following too close to the guy in front of me. He stopped and I proved that ice and rubber are a dangerous mix.
My other accident was on my Kawasaki KLR 650 Dual-Sport bike.

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

March 19th.

I wasn't driving. But yeah, no fun. My friend was taking me to work as a favor, and we got nailed by a minivan doing 50 mph on the driver's side. The driver's side of our car got ripped off, we spun around several times, and ended up knocking over and landing on an electrical box, as well as tearing a whole bunch of live wires in the box. Not fun... and somehow, the police officer tried to put all blame on us. Fortunately, it ended up being "no fault" on either side.

Somehow - I still don't know how - both of us managed to actually get up and walk out of the car. The police officers and EMTs were shocked, because they were pretty sure my friend would be dead, and me unconcious. Amazingly, my friend ended up with a busted up hand and arm, and I had a concussion, and whiplash.

I'm still flinchy when I'm in cars. No fun.

Re: When Did You Have Your First Accident?

My first accident happened about 6 months after I had first gotten my license. I went to pull out into a road and my friends truck was sitting partially in the road, I pulled out right as someone came around him in the other lane and got nailed. The cop gave me the ticket since I was 16 and she was friends with the woman who hit me's family. I got an unsafe movement ticket and went to driving school to have it completly taken off my record and changed to a nonmoving violation. It sucked, messed up my car really bad. Her car had about $300 worth of damage but when the bill was sent to the insurance company somehow she drove up a bill of 1800 and had dents fixed that were not even caused by the wreck. Some people just have to take advantage of teenagers.
