How many car accidents have you been involved in?

[Vivek]

Well, after legally driving for a grand total of 21 days, someone rear ended me (thankfully in my dad's Accord) at a red light. I was on the way to school this morning. Right now I'm home because I'm sick (sort of...mainly just didn't feel like being at school today), and my dad came back home because his back hurts from this little bump. I guess being 15 makes everything hurt less because I feel completely fine.

It definitely felt like a lot more than it looks, but it wasn't bad.

This is a jinx thread.

One because I was 16 and didn't understand how much torque 350ft-lbs actually was.

3 to be technical. I rear-ended some retard in a Mercedes. Got rear-ended by a fat lady. Hit a median in my dads civic, (hydro-plane). In two years of driving whoo.

None of these in my e30 so not to worry

1. rear ended someone in my lebaron who cut me off and slammed on their brakes. court ruled in my favor.
2. my friend in an e28 rear ended someone. slick road, bald tires. r3v'd.
3. a contractor's van stopped in front of me in on my street, i stopped, and then proceeded to back into my 1st e30, happened to fast to put the clutch in and into reverse.
4. someone started to merge into traffic, so thinking they left the exit i rolled forward looking down the road. they inexplicably stopped due to a completely empty road and i rolled into them.
5. came around a turn and hit a log in the road. blew my rim apart and put a scratch all the way down the side of my rx8.
6. an old man suddenly pulled out of an exit lane into traffic and totalled my 2nd e30.
7. leaving a business complex and a contractor's pick up truck suddenly stopped. i stopped and waited. then they suddenly put it in reverse and floored it into the front of my 3d e30.
8. 3rd e30 burns down.

im sure i missed a few. and these were the ones that happened while i was in the car with the engine running.

i have at least double that in parking lot hits.

I have been IN four real wrecks that I remember off the top of my head. Only been driving for two of them. Was rear ended once when I had my permit, and I understeered my last car off the road driving the piss out of it and ramped it sideways up an embankment.

My favorite story, though, was when I was 17 and one of my friends was driving 4 of us in his E46 down some curvy road in the fog and decided it would be a good idea to ignore us telling him to slow the fuck down. Well long story short the road ended in a T intersection and he had maybe 300ft to stop or turn 90 degrees doing a buck 20.

We are still good friends but 9 years later I still give him shit for that. If someone in my car asks me to slow down, I do. Nothing worse than feeling like you're in a death trap because you don't trust the driver.

I have a question for you guys: Should my dad report this and get it fixed? He's worried that since I was driving, and I'm a kid his insurance might decide to raise his rates just because of that, even though it clearly wasn't my fault. I don't think that I'm on his insurance policy, but I don't think I need to be since I don't have a license, right? He may just do nothing, it's not the worst thing on that like 12 year old bumper, but it'd be nice to get a new one for free, but I know that if it would cost him a cent (in raised premiums) he wouldn't do it. Does anyone have any experience with that?

Its a trick question

[slammin.e28]

1: 15. 5 years old. Rear ended (with my Nissan SE-V6) a Jeep Grand Cherokee when he slammed on his brakes to avoid rear ending a Corrado ass hole who was making a illegal U turn. Jeep driver had suspended license, cop let me off.

2: 16. Same Nissan truck. Went into a ditch when the steering wheel locked up. Drove away before anyone could call the cops.

3: 16. Hydro'd my 1986 Nissan 300zx into an 8" steel post with 5 mail boxes on it. Some asshole lady called the cops. Cop cited me for reckless driving, lawyer friend got it to speeding and I got driving school.

Done.

i was 16 and had a full blown pre runner ranger. i backed into my friend civic cuz i was 5 pointed into my seat and couldnt turn around. his horn was broken so he couldnt honk. was going like 5 MPH but had a tubed rear bumber. messed his shit up bad.

i was 17 and just got my nissan titan. was heading to Mt.High to snowboard and the back entrance was closed only to 4wd. i told the guy my truck had 4wd and headed up. made it to the laaaaast turn and got stuck. too icy. a guy in a samurai was up at the top saying he could help. i told him to use his wench from where he was at and get me up the bend. he said he'll just swing around and tow me up. i told him no its too icy, you'll slide into my brand new truck. he didnt listen. slide and smashed my whole front end and pushed me into a hill. still had paper plates....

was in my titan on the same road going down the hill. was ripping down the hill using the the manual shift on the stock. some asshole in a STI passed me in a double yellow and shoots rocks into my truck and chipped my windshield. i was pissed so i tried to run that fucker down....lol run a sti down on a mountain road in a titan on 35's... ended up sliding my rear end into a guard rail on about a 400' cliff... i about shit my self. young and dumb.

Well, did you get the insurance info from the person that hit you? If so, then your insurance co. has nothing to do with it.
