How many car accidents (wrecks) have you been in?

Only one, and a French gypsy told me I would never be in another accident. Thus, I have no fear of flying.

4 as a driver and 5 as a passenger. 2 total’s.

Unless I’m forgetting, three (2 as passenger, 1 as driver) and 2 other times where someone bumped me from behind, but no real damage was done.

Six accidents that required a police report and filing insurance. A couple were my fault.

One very minor accident. I wasn’t driving.

I’ve been driving for 49 years and have been in two very minor fender benders. Neither were 100% my fault. Total cost $500.

Two where I was the driver, two where I was the passenger, and one where a deer ran into my car.

None. A few near misses, though.

Only one, needless to say, we fired the chauffeur.

Less then a dozen, everything from being T-boned fifty years ago to most recently hitting a a bundle of foam insulation about 2 foot high by 2 foot by 4 foot at 70 miles per hour. Repair to vehicle starts next week and will take 3 days.

Including fenderbenders, around twenty. I was driving in only four. Three were pretty bad. I was always relatively unscathed and never got ticketed.

I rolled my car once and I had a fairly serious front end collision that was my fault.

All the rest have been pretty minor, no matter who’s fault.

Just one that totalled the car. I was driving but it was not my fault.

I’ve totaled every car I’ve owned. Rolled once, head-on collision, multiple rear endings. I even managed to hit a snowplow on a side of the blade and shear my engine in half at only 15 mph.
People don’t usually ask me to drive.

Woo hoo, @AdventureElephants! Are you fully insured? Here’s the keys…let’s take my car for a spin!

Three major ones.

One rollover that ended with a utility pole across the dashboard and the other two people in the back seat landing on top of me. Couldn’t walk for a month after that one.

One weather-related accident that landed me on my roof in soft snow. Walked away from that one, and considering the circumstances, it was considered “no fault” despite being single-vehicle. Vehicle was totalled solely because the odometer reading dropped the value of the car just a little too low.

Lastly, driving under the rear-end of an SUV in a tiny Corolla that spun out in front of me after hitting the person in front of him. I didn’t find out until afterwards that I was the third car in a five-car pileup, but it’s caused a few lingering issues that still haven’t (and quite likely never will) resolve.

Lets see… crashed my boyfriends Camero in the 70’s, no injuries, just some dings and a mangled bumper when I cut a corner on a bridge too tightly on a foggy night. Roll over in another boyfriends van in the 70’s too, no injuries but scary as hell. Then, decades later in about 2006–7 had a teenage girl come flying off a freeway off ramp, run the light and plow into me and a several other cars. No injuries again, but mangled my front end.

Then, I had a local car dealerships shuttle van rear end me, my dealership actually, haha, soooo…they got to shuttle me around and repair my car. My only at fault accident was a minor rear ender when I bumped into a car in front of me that suddenly braked for a bird in the road. :-/ I have narrowly missed hitting several deer and had one bounce off my car but no injuries to it or my vehicle. I have also had numerous little accidents all by myself like backing into a boulder, the same tree in my own driveway several times and once ran into my own garage door. lol

This reminds me of one of my accidents in which it was my fault. I was driving home from the eye doctor in light traffic with my wife in the shotgun seat. On the drive home, I decided to put on my new “progressive” multi-focals, the first I’d ever had. We were approaching a line of cars stopped at a red light. Just as my very correct Swedish wife said, “Winston, now is not the time to test your new..” BAM! I hit the guy in front of me at about 7 miles an hour. I couldn’t tell depth at all through the new glasses and rolled right into him. I felt like a real idiot.

The guy, who was driving a jalopy of an old Toyota, acted all upset about a small dent I’d added to the collection already in his rear fender. I didn’t want my insurance company to get involved in this, so I asked him what it would take to fix it. He lit up like an airport. I could see the wheels turning. His eyes rapidly appraised my car. I quickly decided to beat him to the punch and offered him $350. He jumped at it, then followed me to the ATM for the big payoff.

My wife, of course, was not happy. And I had sabotaged a very entertaining presentation I had carefully put together concerning new sails for the boat of which I planned to reveal to her that night at dinner, but now had to be put off for at least a week. What a pain in the ass it all was.

Zero in my 36 years of driving. Seen lots of them though. In Southern California, it’s almost a daily occurrence on the freeways.
