Hit nothing as of yet. On the road since August 2012 I sweat like a hooker in Church when i drive in places I have no idea where I'm going and I'm so aware of everything that I think it's impossible for me to crash :smile:

Hopefully

Couple weeks. It was pretty bad. Stopped me from driving for 5 years.

About 4 months.

Doing 50mph in a 30mph, range rover slowed down to turn down as small alley way, SMASH... thruogh a wall into a tree.

The tree actually probably saved me, it acted as slack, almost like a bungee jump being stretched and gradually slowing me down! Write off.

To be fair, even if I was doing 30 I'd still have hit him,

First crash : 19 days after getting my first car had my license for around 3 months then, some idiot in a Honda CRV hit it from behind and it went into the car in front. Stupid soggy idiot was talking on his phone when it happened, caused the car to have an electrical fault and set it on fire.

Second crash : 16 years after passing, a lorry had a wheel come loose and in trying to avoid it I hit that wheel, car flipped twice before the roof and bonnet smashed into the motorway barrier. Miraculously and a testament to how well built modern cars are I actually climbed out of the car just shaken up and with a few bruises from the airbags. Only had that Alfa Romeo GT for 4 months before that happened.

I had a minor accident 2 years after passing my test. I was in traffic coming up to a set of traffic lights and went into the car in front. The car in front only had a couple of scratches- so it got sorted outside of the insurance, as it wasnt worth going through the insurance to be fair. Then my dad got a new bumper for the front of my car off ebay.

Been on the road for 5 years now. Only incident was when some idiot woman in a 5-series sitting in a no parking area reversed without looking and went into the front of the car I'd picked up literally 3 hours earlier. Only a cracked number plate so I don't know if that counts.

How can so many people be bad at driving? I passed my test in 2010. Haven't crashed, doubt I will unless another person hits me.
