How many car accidents have you been in? As a driver? As a passenger? Who's the worst driver you know? What's their story?

Question

The worst driver I knew was a former student who totaled three cars between Junior and Senior year. Thank goodness she was okay for all of them but from what I gathered she was uninsurable after that.

Do you consider yourself an above average driver? Did you pass your permit and road test the first try?

Two very minor ones.

we were on our Way back I’m Chula Vista to LA and there was a piece of wheel 🛞 on the freeway and our neighbor was the driver, it was dark outside and she saw the piece of large thing on the ground and she tried to swerve around it not to hit it but she was going at high speed and the deer eve made the car spin crazy in the middle of the freeway and after it was done spinning it went off full speed driving the opposite direction go the traffic if Jess horrible and scary and the husband who was passenger took the wheel and tried to control it and we hit the wall of the freeway way still looking the opposite direction as the traffics passed us.

we are really so lucky to be alive I think. How we didn’t get hit by the cars is quite amazing in a relieving type of way.

the car was somehow totaled from the hit but we were all okay. The lady couldn’t stop crying and we were all in shock

another one was super minor. A really old lady hit my mom from behind in the freeway she said she didn’t see us stop and she hit us hard but our car was fine. Her car was totally dismantled. She was so shaking and gave me a hug. I hope she is okay I felt really bad that she was so old and alone. I don't know if she gave me the hug to comfort me or to comfort herself or both and I feel sad because I don’t remember if I hugged her back.

my mom today has back problems and she believes it’s because of that accident. Then hit was very bad and made the car move hard front and then thrust back pushing us forward and then bam 💥! Back !

Worst driver is my friend, theyre very much a hazard on the road and not the brightest financially. Waited to get their license which is fine everyone’s ready when they’re ready. But instead of getting a beater for a first car since they’re still learning they bought a brand new car. Got screwed over by the dealership going back on their deal. They drive and park by feel. The front end is damaged all to shit. Dings and scrapes on their car because they don’t have the spacial awareness. Not to mention their insurance and monthly payments equals out to more than a grand every month. More than they can afford. On the road they’re afraid to get to speed, merge lanes etc I am always terrified when I drive with them.

As for accidents, I’ve been in 2. Once when I was a little kid that almost killed me. Semi lost control, hit us we spun out and rolled down an embankment my brother was driving we barely survived. 2nd was my fault id just dropped $3k on my car to fix its suspension and everything. Huge pothole that the city did fuck all to take care of, followed traffic to avoid it got blinded by the sun and accidentally rear ended a parked car that was parked too close to the corner. My car was totalled and my insurance was basic so I got nothing for it or a replacement

The final movie. 10 driving. From full total flipped end over end 5.5 times. Highway patrol behind me. To ran up a guide wire. The car was at a 45⁰ angle one back wheel on the ground. Highway patrol was behind me.
One night I hit a fence, so 11 driving. The rancher and his fat smart-ass kid took my last 35 bucks after calling the sheriff. When I left that location I missed another curve and parked it in the trees. Literally, I opened the door and fell about 5 feet. The car was wedged between trees. I never found it again. Last one a 91 year old pulled out in front of me. My car had 4500 miles exactly. I don't know how many with others driving. I spun my camaro around and round at about 80, twice but did not wreck. I've had 5 motorcycles but no wrecks driving. What do I win? Oh, I also rolled a golf cart in Carson City Nevada in 86. The 80s was a tough decade.

I've been involved in 2 accidents. The first one I was rear-ended while stopped at a "keep clear" zone in front of a fire house as the fire trucks were pulling out for a call, running lights and sirens. The guy behind me was speeding and not paying attention. That was back in 1988.

The other one was 4 years ago. I was backing up out of a parking space, and a woman pulled in right behind me as I was already moving in reverse, and I couldn't *quite* stop in time. I hit her just hard enough to put a dent about the size of a walnut in the side of her rear fender. It was such a minor issue that my insurance company paid out without dinging my record because they said it was cheaper than trying to fight it. I believe they did paintless dent repair.

I’ve been in about maybe 4-5 accidents in my life. 3 of which were my own fault, I dinged my car 3 times against either someone else’s car or a wall, all cosmetic damage, all easily fixed and repaired. The other accidents were when my father hit a deer in the middle of the night and when my mom drove the car into a ditch on a snowy afternoon. The worst driver out of the group of us is probably my brother. Remember those 3 accidents I mentioned? Those were all before I left for college. I had 3 accidents with the same car. My brother also had 3 car accidents before he finished high school. He totaled 3 cars.

I've been in 3 and I wasn't the driver in 1 of them and none were my fault. I was sitting at a red light when the car in front of me tried to beat the light. Instead of finishing his turn mod way through the intersection he threw his car in reverse and hit our car.

The other time I was at work in a golf cart when this truck came barreling down the path and hit me.

The one I was a passenger in, my wife was driving and lost control on a gravel road and hit a tree which came through my side of the windshield and could have impaled my face.

The worst driver I know though is my wife who has been in double digit accidents.

Dnice1 · Answer

Only two, one a driver and the other a passenger. I had a fender bender. The passenger was just a light tap my mom just tapped a car that was pulled too far out and scratched her truck and the other car lost a bit of its front. As far as worst driver go I don't exactly trust my brother behind the wheel. He hit a car that was turning then he went to check on them and the car rolled into the ditch because he didn't put it in park. A girl broke her nose. Another time he hit a patch of gravel and rolled over and hit the front of a parked RV. Demolished the passenger side and totaled my mom's truck. She cried for two weeks about that truck. Then blew up a car by not putting oil in it. Lastly his Subaru went down a mountain. The whole front came off. We've learned never let him drive a toyota again.

None but I have a funny story when I went to US we were driving to colorado, and some tire from way up came off a truck and hit every single car on the way down. We saw it coming and just laughed, it hit the window bounced right off onto the next car.

I was just there going "bloody hell" she was like "yeah this is just normal here" americans also drive way too fast.

Worst one was being in a small hatchback with four other people, sliding into the car in front of us. I was the front passenger, rammed my knees painfully into the dashboard and got a bit of whiplash.

Two car accidents, both my fault and both in 2004. Did pretty well until 2022. I hit a deer with my wife's car when I was heading to Chicago to visit family (she was already out there).

Phoenix98 · Answer

Only ever been in two. One as the passenger and one as the driver  1st one wasn’t bad just a bump. 2nd one was bad but because of my quick reaction I avoided causing anyone serious injury or death.

Just one, as a passenger a year ago. It was nothing big but I had a bit of PTSD over it for a few days.

Two car accidents. Both as a teenager, both in bad weather. Both entirely my fault

I’ve been pretty lucky overall. Been in 3 accidents and all were minor.  But anything can happen at anytime. Driving is more dangerous then people respect it to be.
