Well there was the one when I drove into a ditch, then demolished a walking bridge, the I ran into an 18 wheeler, ran into the bricks at the car wash, side swiped a truck, hit my house (no dents in the house or car), and I think that’s all.
What about you?

I have been in three car accidents. The first happened when I was a baby, so I don't remember it at all. The second happened when I was 15 and riding with my 16 year old cousin who had just gotten her license. The power steering went out and she freaked, stepping on the gas instead of the brakes and the car rolled. The last accident I was driving and I slid on some ice into a bank of snow. An armored truck slid on that same ice and slammed into me. Another truck hit us both.

When I was 15 I was in an accident with my brother. There was a car in the middle of his lane at night with its headlights off. The car was facing us in the lane. My brother saw it too late. Car was totaled.
When I was 21 I got in an accident coming out of a parking lot. A truck was going way too fast and hit the front drivers side of my car. $4000 damage to my car that was only 1 year old.
A few years ago I was driving back to my house from dropping my son off at school and a lady who was parked on the side of the road flung her door open and hit my passenger side front. It broke a turn signal and dented my front fender.
About a year ago I was backing out of our driveway and I hit the truck of a guy that was working on our basement. Did nothing to his truck, but I got caught on his bumper and ripped my drivers side front and knocked off the side view mirror.

Wow maybe you need a driving course lol.
I have never been in an accident while driving, knock on wood. I've had some near misses b/c of other stupid people on the road, but i've avoided them. I just try to have eyes in the back of my head, and pay attention to other on the road, and follows traffic rules.
I've been in 2 accidents though in my life...once when I was 1 year old and my grandma was driving; I dont remember that one. Another I was in my aunt's van and we were rear ended. I was 10 and it was on Martin Luther King Jr Day. We were rear ended and it wasnt bad at all but there were 7 of us little girls in the van (ages 3-10 yrs old) and we were all crying lol.

I was in an accident where my boyfriend was watching me instead of the road and the car in front of us hit their brakes suddenly. To avoid hitting the car he drove over a guide rail and hit a telephone pole.
The only other accident I was in I was 13 and driving my friends car. I was doing 45 on a road rated at 25 MPH at 2 in the morning and I misjudged a turn. I drove through a field, hit a cow and finally stopped the car when I drove it into a tree.

I have been in at least 2 Car Accidents, the other types of Accidents well I fail to even be able to count them too well cos there's been that many I just can't be bothered counting and counting until the end the other day. I have just had another accident - non vehicle related- added just the other day.

I've been into two car accidents last year...The first one was when I was in a public vehicle and it lost control and crashed into another van...It was a good thing that the person beside me was quite largely built so he was able to block me from bumping into the dashboard...The second one was when my sister and I rode a taxi.I sat beside the driver...He bumped my side into a jeepney...I had some bruises from that accident...It was very scary...
