how many

---

Two. Not my fault for both. First was a T-bone. Second was a rear-end.

---

0, with 12-13 years of driving.

Hope to keep it that way.

---

i guess one? guy started going at green and then stopped and i very lightly bumped him. no damage or scratches on either car though but i guess thats an accident.

---

around 20, give or take a couple.

There's a few more serious ones in there, but most of them were low speed fender bender/parking lot bumps. I wasn't the driver in a few of them, and one happened while my car was parked and i was inside the house.

The worst one was when I fell asleep and rear-ended a truck. Wound up with a broken leg and in a coma for almost two weeks.

---

a guy backed into me in a parking lot and a guy rear ended me at a light

---

0 with me behind the wheel

---

As a driver I've never been in one, but as a passenger I've been in three.

---

One. My fault, blew a stop sign and got t-boned by an Expedition.

---

0 and no tickets, been driving 21 years.

One very minor side scrape with no visible damage. My fault though as I pulled out from the stop sign too late but the guy was speeding like crazy. Still my fault though.

Yep. Worked out in the end, financially, insurance gave me more than my car was worth and the damage to the Expedition was some bumper damage.

Well, it worked out except for my hip that aches every time it rains...

yeah well you're insurance paid out, but how much did your insurance rates go up though?

4 only one was bad the other 3 being love taps with no damage done to the cars. 1 love tap bring my fault.

---

twice someone hit me as i was waiting to merge in what PA considers an onramp.
twice lost control due to ice or gravel. with the ice, i slid through a stop sign, but got stopped before sliding off the road. no other cars around to cause an accident. the gravel was a full spinout, ending with me hitting the side embankment. by far the worst, but still not all that bad, thankfully. a few seconds later, though, and the car coming the other way would have been involved, as they probably couldn't see the incident in time.

I've been driving 20 years. I've been in one accident as a driver, and it was completely my fault.

It was 4th of July in a super busy tourist town, and traffic was crazy. I was at a stop sign behind a truck, and in front of a cop. We were on a frontage road, waiting for an opening in the oncoming traffic so we could turn onto the highway. We sat there for 5 minutes before there was an opening in the non-stop traffic. Once that break in traffic appeared I waited 5 seconds, long enough for the truck in front of me to get moving. I was still looking to my left (had been the entire time) making sure I could go too. Thinking I was free to go, I let off my brake to make my way onto the highway. But the truck hadn't moved, and I smashed into it's trailer hitch.

Luckily, the truck driver didn't even feel it, or didn't give a shit, and just drove away. Luckier yet, the cop behind me didn't notice the accident either. I ended up with a badly cracked front bumper but luckily I didn't get a citation, or worse, to go along with it.

Woah, exactly this. >_>

accidents 1, I slid off the road when I was a kid after a big snow and there was a bunch of sand down. Collisions 0

---

1, car #2 in a four car collision. I was on the highway, the car in front stopped short due to traffic going from 60 to 0. I managed to stop in time without hitting him. Can't say the same about the other two cars behind me. The force of the first car hitting me pushed me into the car in front.

---

none but ive seen a bunch
shits scary

---

4. All my fault and all when I was a teenager

I've been involved in more though

I've been t-boned twice by people running red lights. I'd be dead if I'd been riding a bike.

---

Been driving since 2010. 2 accidents. One was not my fault, and the other one was, I was the last one on a 4 car collision. I was young and looking at the phone, heh.

California?

0 that were my fault

2, one was whatever (still my fault) and 1 I Silent Hill 1'd myself to victory off a small ditch into a mass of brush and trees. I felt like at any moment I was just gonna stop seeing the whipping of brances and twigs and see all black.

And I did lol, somehow I was perfectly fine and started unhooking myself before I saw dancing lights coming towards me.. bunch of police officers who got called in by someone on the road who saw my car jump 2 lanes

Not my proudest moment, I'm still sort of ashamed to even type it out

Three.
One in a supermarket car park. Idiot decided to ignore the give way signs. Drive into the front left of my car.
Second one, I was driving a 24t HGV. Van in front decided he wanted to stop as fast as possible to turn right at traffic lights. I hit the brakes, brakes faded, went straight into the back of him at about 40mph. Made a right mess of his van. I was carrying diesel, poison and fertiliser at the time o_O
Third one (funniest) I was in a HGV in our yard, just fueled up. Went to spin the thing around to park up for the day, drove right into the office wall. Wasn't enough air in the tanks to brake or turn the wheel properly. Totally my fault.

---

3 and 2 were the cars fault.

---

I have been in 2 but 1 I was parked so I cant classify it as much and the second my wife was driving but it wasnt ruled her fault. The first one my supervisor hit my car backing up from his parking space. The second totaled the car and was caused by a vehicles hood popping up and causing several vehicles to stop rapidly on the interstate.

---

1. When I was little, my dad got hit by someone else. I don't remember this one. Apparently the car spun around multiple times. I slept through the whole thing.
2. I was riding in a friend's truck and he rear-ended a stopped vehicle while moving at about 35 - 40mph. Hurt like hell. I had a cup in one of the cupholders in the front. The bottom of the cup was sliced off. I think his truck was totaled. It was smoking and undriveable after the impact.
3. Someone rear-ended me 2 months after I bought a car back in 2008
4. Someone backed into me in that same car
5. Someone t-boned me while I was in that same car
6. I rear-ended someone lightly. Fortunately they didn't want to file any claims because they didn't have any damage. I just had a small scratch on my car.

3

first one was me trying to park in my work/school's small parking lot. i didn't have a lot of room to get into and i ended up turning too sharply, hitting the car next to me's light and scraping the hell out of both cars.

second was me extremely lost because i forgot to turn Google Maps off "Avoid Highways" mode and it was leading me to weird areas at night. In my "WHERE THE FUCK AM I" panic, i entered a 4-way intersection and turned left, right into a car that was in the other lane next to me that i didn't see.

last was on the freeway. there was a slowdown up ahead and i saw that the car ahead of me was braking but i dont know what happened, my car didn't stop fast enough. i never drive super close to cars so im still mystified as to how it happend. anyway i hit the brakes, saw that i wasn't gonna stop in time, and turned the wheel to avoid them and hoped for the best. i hit the back of their rear driver wheel with the side of my car.

---

Two fender benders which happened the same way, one my fault and one the other person's. Both involved semis turning left too close inside the lane, one time I backed into a lady and the other time a dude backed into me.
