Have you ever had a road accident?

Question

exitseven · Accepted Answer

I once got into an accident in my wife's brand new Country Squire station wagon. I had 6 Cub Scouts in the back. This woman in a Firebird was trying to sneak up on my right side while I was making a right hand turn. I think she hit me on purpose because when we were both pulled over I was making sure all the kids were okay while she was trying to flag down passing cars trying to find somebody to be a witness. It was raining pretty hard out and after about 15 minutes goes by her boyfriend shows up in a Jeep. This was before there were cell phones so I wondered how the boyfriend knew where she was.

A few months later I get a letter in the mail that this woman was going to take me to court. I called my insurance company and they settled it. I wanted to go to court but the insurance company said it would coat too much to fight it in court.

I was on my way to calculus finals back in college (of all days)
Some guy was texting and casually pushed on his accelerator without looking ahead

There I was, driving the speed limit thinking about the exam and bam he runs into me

My car had a metal frame so it was minor bump but he had a small korean car it was completely totaled (turns out to be his wife’s car)

Only problem his my seat’s head brace is equipped with s spring system that pushes it up to protect from breaking my neck during an accident
It went off and hit me on the back of the head like a baseball bat. I fell unconscious on the wheel for a few seconds

I did make it the exam but had to take it with ears still ringing and my balance all shot

Still dont know how I passed that one

I have been in at least three relatively minor accidents. I was not injured in any of them, but my girlfriend (now ex) hit the windshield in one of the incidents.

In my many years of driving, I've had 4 road accidents, none of them my fault, and no one was injured in any of them.

The most interesting one was this one... you can't make this up, it's true...

A pregnant 16yo driving on a learners permit without a licensed driver in the car (only her 16yo girl friend), ran a red light and hit me. Next to the accident site was a Krispy Kreme donut store where a policeman was eating donuts in his patrol car. I walked over and told him about the accident. At first, he told me he wasn't interested unless someone was injured. When he heard about the unlicensed pregnant 16yo, he quickly finished his donut and came to check on things and fill out an accident report.

Only accident I've ever been in was with a parked truck that hit me... Context? I stood too close to a trailer as the doors were being swung open. It was a tad windy and the wind caught the door. Gave me a very decent wack to the back of the head. It did not feel great

Lliam · Answer

Oh yeah. I drove about 50,000 miles per year on my job for almost 30 years in a regular car. That's well over a million miles. Lots of city and highway driving.
I was involved in several accidents. A couple were my fault, but most were not. There were never any injuries aside from one time when I got rear ended at a stop light and hurt my neck.

Fireguy17 · Answer

fortunately not yet.
Now while working we responded to countless MVAs every year, some minor, some fatalities.
This time of year, and more into fall it is the rut season for deer and we continue to get more and more car/truck vs deer accidents.
Those things can annihilate a vehicle, and they don't fare all that well either.

DrPepper12 · Answer

Technically yes. I was backed into twice by another motorist in reverse. Another time I hydroplaned into a telephone pole with almost no damage.

As far as the insurance company knows I've never had an accident in 34 years yet somehow I'm paying about 4x what I started with. Y'all better start driving better and stop tracking my premiums up with your carelessness!!

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

Technically, in 1984 when the bus on which I was a passenger was sideswiped by a car.(If you ever came here to Windsor, Ont., and saw the HORRIBLE drivers, you'd wonder why the streets aren't littered with corpses from traffic accidents !!!)

Yes, in my dad’s car. We collided with a truck and we’re lucky to still be alive and unharmed. The truck driver was on the wrong side of the road

BCRanger10 · Answer

Three, only one of which was really, really bad. And it was because I hit a deer. Never wanted to get a hunting license as badly as I did then.

FreyaRed · Answer

As kid some assh... hit me with a car on bicycle way. Fortunately he turned and wasn't especially fast.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

Three times as a passenger... nothing too dramatic, though.

shortster · Answer

Yes, twice. Once I was rear ended. And another time I got side swiped. Both times I was able to drive away; but the other guy wasn't. It was also in the same car.
