Poll of the Day > How many car accidents have you been in in your driving career?

(+) Yeah! (+)

counting separately those you were at fault at and not. I've been in 1 not my fault

0, but only because I don't want to drive.

I would only put myself, and others, in danger.

2 and 1 of those 2 was environmental.

Nobody else was ever involved in either and no body work was ever required as part of the repairs (mostly tire/axle damage)

Yes I am proud of myself.

2 both not my fault.

First I T-boned a taxi that turned on my green light, had no chance to stop.

Second a old Asian man backed out of his driveway right into me and again zero time to react or stop.

I got paid out approximately $20,000 for each accident for injuries, and both my car's paid out to me.

Zero so far luckily

Glad ya didnt end up having to sue anyone that day

17 ane NONE OF THEM WERE MY FAULT DAMMIT
---

One.

One not my fault. Rear ended by a lady not paying attention

None.

Strangely enough, I've noticed that people who own trucks typically drive like fucking morons or have a complete disregard for typical for rules and/or car etiquette (such as not parking like fucking idiots).

Nothing is worse than BMW drivers. I'm convinced that anyone who buys a BMW is either Asian or a huge prick.

I'd like to clarify the Asian part is not about the common stereotype about their driving but because asians fucking love BMWs and Mercedes

Zero accidents, unless you count clipping my landlord's mailbox with a 1500 pound zero-turn lawn mower because I forgot about the rollover bar sticking out when I swung around it.

2 if you count that damned suicidal deer and ice falling off power lines and completely shattering my windshield onto my lap.

One I can remember. Single vehicle, icy roads. I actually saw it coming because buddy was driving fast for conditions on a corner.

Like I said nobody else was involved.

Unless you get read ended at a atoplight or there is unforseable mechanical failure it takes 2 idiots to get in an accident.

Its called DEFENSIVE DRIVING. I never trust other drivers to follow the rules and have avoided several accidents because of it.

Even at green lights I look both ways on approach to make sure I dont T-bone anybody going through a red and have had people do it to me several times.

No accidents is a better feeling than a 20k payout.

I just know youve had to sue so many people in the past, I was concerned

rear-ended once
and the second accident was "my fault"

car accidents: 1, as a pedestrian.
driving career, the furthest I've gotten is a learners permit which has since expired.
---

2, both from people on their phones slamming on brakes for no reason.
---

1 that wasn't my fault.
---

Three in 55 years of driving, two not my fault, hit someone who ran a stop sign, got rear-ended, and one my fault, scraped a parked car while I was backing out of an alley in a rainstorm.
---

A ton:

1st one was a van slid off the road, hit a guard rail, then bounced back and hit my car (not my fault)
2nd one I rear ended a truck due to slippery road conditions
3rd one I spun out on an exit ramp due to black ice
4th one I got rear-ended at a stop light (not my fault)
5th one I ran a stop light and t-boned another car
(9 year period of no accidents)
6th (and final) one I got rear-ended off an exit ramp and pushed into the car in front of me(not my fault)

So 6 accidents in 17 years of driving. 2 - 5 all happened within 2 years of each other though, thankfully I smartened up and became a better driver.

* At fault - 1 (Just got my license, rear ended someone driving to school when I Hydroplaned)
* Not At Fault - 3 (Three times, all I was rear ended while waiting at a stop light or stop sign, no major damage)
* Equal Fault - 1 (Bad winter storm, I had spun out and car was incapacitated - was hit head on by a truck that was going to fast for conditions)
---

Many.

4 At fault (2 didn't go anywhere as it was no damage; other drivers were trying to scam)
3 Not at fault
2 environmental - at fault

I could be missing a couple
---

None unless you count;

Ever since then (last August) I've been accident free.
