This topic may not pleasing but I still want to ask that if you have ever had a car accident.
I had a car crash this afternoon. I was sitting beside my boss and we were listening to smooth music. Suddenly she began to tap the wheel fast, just liking typing letters. I was shocked at the moment because the music was a slow one but she typed quite fast. I began to wonder if she learned some musical instrument. Still I could not figure out why she was doing that.
Oh, and by the way, this is the first time that I ride in her car and not long after we set off, I began to feel unsafe. It's just a kind of feeling I am not quite sure about it.
then half an hour later, the above happened. she typed her wheel fast which was very very weird. All of a sudden, I noticed the car in front of us swerved suddenly. We were driving forward to it. I gave out a cry when my boss suddenly realized the danger. She swerved sharply to the left to avoid the car. It was a taxi. but everything was too late. We hit into the left door of that car, a taxi.
Fortunately, we did not hurt ourselves. No one was hurt. Our headlight was smatched.
On the way back, we drove in a car with one "blind eye".
Later I asked why she was typing fast and she told me that she did not realize it at all.

I am lucky,I haven't had an accident.Now the number of the car in the city become more and more,so it is very easy to have a crash.Many times I went to work by public transportation i see a crash taken place at the road.Of cource it is not very serious.

I was in a car accident twice. The first time I was sitting next to the driver and he lost control of the car and we hit a tree. We were Ok, just a small concussion for both of us.
The second time I was alone in the car and as a car was coming towards me from my left side I spinned the wheel on the right and I hit the car on my right. It was just a small accident - there was nobody hurt, but the cars. However, what angered me was that the guy who drove the car which was about to hit me just drove away as if nothing happened

Wow! Well Im glad that youre alright and that seems pretty weird.
As for me, I have sort of been in a car accident but not any kind of typical one. I was in my dads truck and he went to back up out of a driveway when he accidentally smashed into a car parked on the road. Somehow he didnt see it or didnt bother to look in his rear view mirror, Im not sure which one exactly hah. So thats about the closest Ive been to being in an accident, or you could consider it an accident if you would like.
However, when I was driving with my mom one night I did witness a car crash right in front of me. It was either the car in front of me or two cars in front of me that went forward at the green light.. And then another car came speeding around the corner and at the red light and smashed right into this car. The people seemed to be injured.. Like someone broke an arm or a leg or something I think. So we called 911 and then were on our way back home. It was kind of shocking

Your bioss siunds a bit unreliable when driving, as though she doesnt concentrate enough.
I have only ever had one real accident.
This was when I was driving on a major highgway at night, at 110km per hour.
A large sheep appeared in the middle of the road only metrwes from me. I hiot it head on. My engine was destroyed. It had to be towed into the nearest town.

Hi Magic,
Oh yes, in the 10years that I've been driving, I've figured in one car accident where I was the one behind the wheel. I had just dropped my sons in their school, and I was carefully making a left turn when suddenly a big truck came crushing into my car. The hood of my car was a total wreck (fortunately not the whole car), and I was just thankful I missed being hit by a few inches. It was terrible, but at the same time I was just so grateful that I survived the accident unscathed.

i don't drive because i can't. i've even lost my skill in riding a bike. LOL
to avoid tardiness at work, i used to take the taxi cab to work even it was far way expensive than the public transportation. i was supposed to take the front seat but i opted for the back seat that time. in the middle of the trip, we took the way to the reclamation area. i've noticed one cab before us and another behind as we entered a small road as the short cut. the cab before us suddenly stopped and then i screamed in pain at once. my forehead bumped the headrest of the passenger seat. i was shocked and asked the driver what had happened. i was upset because my forehead was terribly painful but upon seeing that our cab's front cover was like a folded paper, my feeling was won over by pity for the driver. he explained that he thought he had stpped on the brakes but he didn't. i just paid the driver with some extra because the owner would be mad at him. i shared another taxi cab with 2 people just to reach the highway to avoid tardiness. after all, i got to work late and it was the last day of the month. i lost my bonus for that month and i just ended up crying not because of the money but because of the trauma the accident had brought to me on top of that headache which took about 2 days.
that's my story. thank you.

Well there was one when I was younger. Driving back in the rain, my mother got in an accident when some person swerved out in front of her. Thankfully, we were not injured. I lost my lunch and was shaken up but that was about it. All things considered, it could have been a lot worse. Other than that, I have had no experiences with car crashes. Which I think is a very good thing.
