Share your car accident experiences, I just had my first.

I was in the passenger back seat and my friend was driving. He came to an intersection and made a left turn w/o an arrow and did NOT yield to incoming traffic. me and one of my friends told him before the turn "STOP, don't go it's unrestricted" and he went and the next thing I know I look out the window and see a mercedec coming 50MPH right at me and I'm like "aww ****, farewell". Then I was in massive shock for a long time and just got out of the ER and I'm supposedly fine.

never been

I was on my bike, waiting to cross to go home from stupid highschool, then I see one car stop fast, and another rams into it. Then I was like crap, I dont get to go home, lol!

I'm on my Learners plates and as I was trying to go forward out of a parking space, I caught the bumper of the car next to me, and I couldn't get the car off it, so I ended up scraping a lot of the bumper and got out. It looked like an expensive as hell classic Jaguar :( . I left my details and he called me later that day and he was just so relaxed and nice about it. He was so grateful someone was honest enough to leave their details so he said that I would only have to pay like 90 bucks (it would have cost around 500 I'm guessing)

Wow that's dramatic :shock: glad you are ok though.

I had several, most recent one was I rear-ended a truck driven by a Mexican who didn't speak one lick of English. I just ended up paying for my own repair which cost upward of 4K... still driving that car til this day. I drive a Toyota Corolla btw, highly dependable

My first was a car accident happen at a CVS and a dude ran into me. I was 16

My second was a girl let her boyfriend back her car into mine while i was parked. I was 19.

The Third was old lady didn't look to her left when she made a left turn. I was 23

My Fourth happened to me the first week i was quitting smoking and a month apart from my third accident. It was raining and some guy in front of me coudn't make up his mind. So when he stopped suddenly, I stopped and another car hit me from behind and launched me into the other car. My car was totalled and that accident sucked bad. Eveything else before that was fender bender.

same thing as OP, I was a passenger and the driver of my car broadsided an SUV. No one got hurt at least. both cars were totalled

I was riding passanger in the front seat, and my friend rolled the car four times. I of course didnt have my seat belt on and ended up getting a concussion and having to be rushed to a bigger hosiptal because they thought I broke my skull. I couldnt stand up for a week because I would get so dizzy, it was just great.....

Wrapped my boss's Navigator around a phone pole. Walked away from it.

The only one I remember was when I was 4 and me and my mom got out of control on the ice. I ended up with a goose egg on my head:)

I was crossing the street one night and this drunk driver hit me. I rolled over the car (I heard his windsheild crack) and I hit the pavement. He sped off and left me in the road with a broken left leg and almost all of my left ribs shattered.

That sucks TC, I'm glad you made it out of there alive.

I haven't had any major accidents (though I had one close call, an almost 60 m.p.h. T-bone that would have killed me and three friends instantly, I have no doubt.) The ones I have had have all been minor fender benders, and I once creamed a mailbox which happened because I reached down to the passenger floor to pick up a pay check after coming home from work.

Nothing else major though *knock on wood*.

Driving down a tight twisty b road, and we were going to fast, went round a corner lost control, swirved and rolled over three times at 60mph, it was a rush and none of us got a scratch.

Dunno. I couldn't exactly tell the police anything other than the car was red. If he was caught later, I was never told about it.

I am scarred and only my friends here will see them. Actually if anyone is catholic,my accident left me stigmata,but I am not a believer so in my mind I bleed from my hands occasionally......:)mattykovax

An atheist with the stigmata?

I hated that movie.

Minor fender bender because I fell asleep at the wheel. I was like an hour late to work and my boss was po'ed, and I got a freakin 100 dollar ticket.

So that's why you were posting yesterday in System Wars, right? Boy, they sure build kids tough these days. Those post 50 mph Mercedes collision ER stays just keep getting shorter and shorter.

I had a 2 liter of coke blow up in my face. It blinded me, and I went off the road into some trees at 30 MPH. The only injury was my hand getting burned from the airbag. The car was totaled though...

The accident probably happened. The getting hit dead on at 50 mph probably didn't.

I ran my mom's Mustang into a ditch, didn't hurt me, my passenger, or the car.

I ran my Jeep into a tree because I hit some ice, tore a hole in my front end that's still there, it's a battlescar.

Both of these happened with the same person in the car, she's badluck.

Really? I could have sworn you said you were an atheist at one point. . .maybe I got you mixed up with someone else. :P

Still, that movie sucked.

I accidently scratched my car when parking one time, their car just had my paint on it, but that's about it.

I didnt have anything major but

So i had parallel parked on the side of the road to get to work. After work i go back out and there are two cars parked really really close to the front and back of my car. So to get out I backed up as far as I could go, by that I mean my bumper was touching the bumper of the car behind me, and turned the wheel as far over as possible and hit the gas. Luckily my SUV had steel bumpers because I had crushed the back bumper of the car in front of me and took off.

Thats what he gets for parking so damn close to me.

Well, never been in an accident. Came close on Friday. My first time driving on the highway, a guy came up the entrance ramp and didn't even look and just merged, I couldn't do anything and instinct drove me into the other lane. Luckily there wasn't another car in the lane, that could have been bad. Also, my uncle died in a car crash so I always take precaution on the roadOblivionfan10

Be careful with merges. Remember that they're no fun for the people trying to make them, especially if the highway is busy. I always keep my eyes on a merge lane when approaching, and if anyone's trying to merge, I immediately move over to the other lane. It avoids a potential accident, and it's courteous to the driver who's forced to look over his shoulder at highway speed, trying to gauge an entry point.

Never been in one before.

But i was with my mom, and she almost crashed into a car, and she braked so hard my neck hurt after that.

Lately I've been doing that as well. But what pisses me off the most is when people are going 40mph when they are about to merge into a 65mph high way.

It's just another good reason to give them space. I suspect it's because they're looking over their shoulder and don't feel comfortable going faster when they can't see in front of them. Or they just didn't gauge their acceleration correctly. In any event, it's not your concern if you're not in the lane they're trying to enter. One of the most common mistakes young drivers make is assuming that they shouldn't do anything to avoid a collision simply because they have the right of way.
