Have you ever been in a crash?

Been rear ended twice. Same scenario. Woman on the phone and woman eating. All at 60+mph while waiting at a red light.

I've caused a few wrecks due to me being too generous and giving people the right of way and somebody comes flying down behind me and hits me and the car behind me. I was already stopped though, legally, so the other car in the opposite lane was turning left so instead of him blocking his lane and having to wait for traffic to clear on my side, I signaled for him to turn in front of me while I was already stopped from somebody in front of me turning left too. Well, while stopped, somebody came flying down behind the car and me and hit the SUV behind me at about 45-50 MPH in a 35 school zone. I think the person wasn't paying attention to be speeding like that and hit somebody not even too far from the road he turned out on. I didn't stop so I don't know what happened. I probably should've pulled over but my car was never damaged and I don't think I was at fault. I was nervous as fuck the police would come looking for my car though but it's been nearly a year and nothing. It was on a busy street too.

>Not knowing how to deal with understeering

Ease off the gas or trail brake with your left foot if you'rre l33t enough to shift your weight to the front wheels.

None of that matters on bald tires.

Not a serious crash, but I keep getting rear-ended by people not paying attention. Each time I have been sitting at a light and I look in the mirror to see some jackwagon not stopping. And I have been here less than a year.

Pic related was barely 2 months after I fixed the bumper from the previous collision.

Don't drive in Virginia.

Almost, unfortunately a lot of LA cunts are pouring into my area because some construction company bribed the city council to start building large hotels and shit, even though there's literally nothing worth coming here for.

Garbage driving user, recycle yourself.

>You shouldn't be legally allowed to drive before you're 18, under any circumstances.
This is one of those funny things america has. FOr some stupid reason, the legal age at which you can start drinking is 21, yet you can drive a car at 16. What the fuck? Why not make it 18 for both those things? And why not make harder driver exams while you're at it?

Buy a fucking dashcam, you nigger.

The drinking age really isn't enforceable unless you're conspicuous and disorderly.

The driving age is very enforceable, so it has to be more realistic.

He was ruled at fault in the accident and his insurance paid for the body work in full. It nearly totaled my little red wagon in the process. I think they said I was at 80% car value. If I had hit him dead on it would have totaled her for sure.

Only twice. Once was a deer. The other involved black ice and a snowbank.

>sedona red bugeye WRX wagon
Man, that's my attainable dream car too. Glad you were able to get it fixed.

[spoiler]Only on the bus[/spoiler]

You know the paint code, that makes me happy. Mines got 211K miles on her so honestly a insurance payout would have been alright, but I'm glad they fixed her. It's been an awesome daily driver minus the mediocre gas mileage. Goddamn unstoppable in the snow. Turbo doesn't smoke and cylinder compression is still good. She leaks oil but what WRX doesn't? If you do get one, go for the 03', they got a better transmission than the 02'. I've had to rebuild mine.

Never been in an accident, but was the first to arrive at a car crash once.

BMW driver oversteered in a left turn, got into the opposite lane, and got t-boned in the right side by a Yaris.
Driver was in shock, but okay. Passenger was pinned and hurting, panick setting in after the initial shock.

Found out a couple of months later that he broke damn near everything. 3 or 4 ribs, his hip, his spine, and an arm (or collarbone?) got fucked. Didn't sever any nerves, though.. Lucky guy.

Worst thing is, he didn't even look hurt at the time. Only slightly inconvenienced. Guess that's why you don't move someone out of a car wreck unless absolutely necessary.

couldn't deal?

2 fresh 4me

Nope.

>Volvo
If a car did that much damage to a volvo, I can't imagine how fucked up the car that hit it is after that

It didn't fair too well. I guess it hasn't e-volvo'd.

nope

and i drive 50k miles/year for work

thanks english drivers are some of the best in the world. also you guys probably crash a lot because americans just cant drive

Define "crash". If you mean hit something due to my actions, no. If you mean another car made contact with mine, yes. I've been rear ended twice and sideswiped once

>first time
Yielded at a yield sign because there was oncoming traffic on the road I would have merged on. Teenage girl hit me from behind

>second time
Just left airport parking and I'm in the leftmost lane of a multi-lane one way road around the airport. Car next to me realizes they're going to miss their hotel (left turn in) and merges into me in my lane. They hit and ran.

>third time
I was in Houston on a multi-lane one way road near a highway exit. A car in the leftmost of three lanes realized he wanted to make in the right lane, so he cuts me off, then stops completely. I honk the horn. FBI agent comes off the highway on the cell phone, rear ends me. That was fun because I had to be interviewed by his coworkers, a cop, police supervisor, rental car agency... happened first thing in the morning and I lost almost the ENTIRE day.

Yes
I tried to use the side to skip ahead of some stopped traffic to turn into my destination
Forgot there was one more street first and traffic had parted
Tboned a Saturn and got a $13,000 check for it

All in all went home with a new car and $5k cash so 10/10 would wreck again

I bought one after the second accident.

Feels good that she got what she deserved but I'm still pissed that I'm out of a car. That civic was so much fun to drive on all of the mountain roads.

Why is the FOV so low?

Probably an accidental oversteer?

Two minor. The lesson here is don't drive home after a ~30 hour day.

Worst

> Get tapped by Subaru wagon
> Other drive has a parts car, I pay $300 for him to color match bumper and hood
> Bend tie rod in '99 Explorer Sport

The kicker? The tie rod was ~300, wheel was ~100, but the tow was ~200, and that's that totaled out the vehicle.

Zero fucks given. Got ~3500 from insurance, no rate increase, and got rid of shitbox Explorer.

one time i crashed a plane, guess it didn't fly too good.

Never as a driver. Not even a not at fault.
If you have a reaction to trouble other than SLAM ON DA BRAAAAKES you're in the 99th percentile. Made a few dodges that would have been collisions if I broke.

That said so much of this is just luck. Got T-Boned riding in mom's car as a kid because some crazy bitch ran a red light doing 45. Were my little brother's car seat not in the middle seat he would have died.

I'd slam into him you to get insurance money and if it's just a boring car I wouldn't care

...

i feel you. I've been rear ended pretty badly twice within 5 months. first one totaled out my mk6 gti,2nd just messed my bumper up bad on my miata

Yes, but minor.

>Driving to college during winter
>There was a snowfall during the night, but was melting so the roads were mostly clear
>Cautious at first but fell more confident after a while and start driving like I would normally
>Suddenly in a corner patch of black ice
>Slide straight through it and hit a wooden pole
>Thankfully the pole was frozen, snapped right off and fell on my car.
>Ended up with bent bonnet, a snapped assisted steering line and my wheels out of alignment.

Now I moved to a place where it barely ever freezes but if it does I won't forget to put winter tires, especially on a lightweight rwd.

My dad however has been badly rear-ended 2 months ago, but he came out of it just shaken. Good thing is that he was planned to buy a new car soon and the insurance gave him the same value as he would have gotten selling it anyway.

Yeah. Good thing for insurance.

Here's 1/3

2/3

That's pretty cool, user. You sound like a big guy

And 3/3, here it sits, fully repaired and in better shape than it was in before the crash.

>realistic
>give a 16-year old keys to a potential 1-ton deathmachine
>expect them to be responsible
Yeah, realistic as fugg

>Nobody under 21 able to drive
Now nobody under 21 outside the very largest metropolitan hell holes can get a job, or food, or go anywhere. I don't know where you faggots live, probably Europe, but I can walk for an hour and a half and get literally nowhere and there IS no public transit. Not everyone lives in a shity. Needs and wants will always outweigh dangers. Your safety is your concern and yours alone.

The fuck. 18 is pretty much the universal limit in any god-tier first world country. And if a 16-year old has somewhere to go, give them a 125cc license so then they at least only kill themselves. Like in the rest of the world.

Yes.

I seem to have stupid luck when it comes to driving. Been driving on the regular since I was 14, never been pulled over, never caused an accident, only been in the blog above.

I should have. It was just a corolla,
But my mind was set into not getting anyone, mainly myself, hurt so I moved away.

Looking back at it I kinda regret not hitting the fucker right in his rear door and seeing him spin out into the median.

Here in "Amerilard Land of The Fat" any 16 year old can get their license and then immediately drive a 1 ton quad cab long bed pickup while towing a huge ass 5th wheel camper.

>tfw you are only ever in one crash
>women on cell phone driving at night with no lights on
>tfw I still get 100% at fault because she had the "right of way" and I pulled out infront of her.

My car was hit three (3) times by women in SUVs in the uni parking lot over the the course of a year

Started riding to school with my roommate

Roommate's car get hit twice already this year

The meme is real

Oh yeah this happened about 1 month after finally fixing my car up getting the paint all nice and getting everything 100%. Insurance wanted to total the car said it would cost 4.5k to fix everything. Took me a weekend and $500 to get everything back to normal (shock, tierod, wheel, and some other misc parts.) Fuck insurance and their bullshit.

I park in the residential area and walk ~1mile to class.

yep. not at fault obviously.

I actually just got the truck back today, and itll be on the trails again by this weekend

What kind of car is that? BMW?

forgot pic

Yes the black one is a BMW E36

Yes

I let my dumbfuck friend drive my car while I rode shotgun. He lost control at 70 mph, finally hit the tree doing about 45. Car was irreparably fucked. We aren't friends anymore.

>Driving home from vacation
>Woman in a tan Yukon occupied on a fucking tablet rather than the road
>Fails to yield while I had the right of way

Was once having my dad drive me to school when it was shitty and snowy out. We were going about 50mph on a 65mph in our Escalade when a Yukon jumped the median going around 60mph.

We couldnt dodge her because the median would put us into oncoming traffic and there was a car to our right. We couldnt stop because of the ice. We ended up t-boning her.

It was probably the loudest noise I've ever heard. All airbags deployed, and the front end of our car complety crushed in enough to crush part of the driver footwall, dislodge the dash and pour smoke into the cabin.

The Yukon, according to the first responders, was structurally broken in half. Many of the people inside suffered broken limbs, skulls and spines but nobody died. It was presumed the mother was texting and that none of the kids were wearing seatbelts.

Meanwhile we suffered a broken ankle, concussion and stitches.

Yeah, that was a fun time.

Two, actually
pic related was second one

Hey! I got one of those shitboxes!

checked.

Wait, what do you mean with those hours? You didn't work 17 hours straight........did you?

Very cute car, user.

...

two but never while I was driving. the second was my own car even =\

>*nudge*
>[oh for fuck's sake intensifies]

Literally not even a scuff but I demanded insurance information anyway just to inconvenience her for being such a dumb fuck. Stupidest part of the whole experience was the light was STILL RED when we were done and I'd gotten back in my car.

Had a number of close calls while on my motorcycle, all FUCKING POLICE too; those dumb shitniggers are worse drivers around here than the texting teens and 10,000 year old grandparents. I swear to god if a cop ever hits me when they're doing something retarded they'd better hope I don't survive because they sure as fuck won't if I do.

>insurance said it would cost 4.5k to fix
>took me weekend and $500

Sounds about right based on what I've seen; shop labor rates fucking never.

>they'd better hope I don't survive because I sure as fuck won't if I do.

Fixed your understanding of how you challenging a police officer's life will work for you

The estimated labor was $700 which isnt too bad of a price for everything I had to do. Just the parts alone would have totaled my car based on their estimates though lol

Yes, but wasn't fault i was roadtripping and was in Alberta and some retarded stoner drove into my rear bumper.

All the time.
>going 80+ mph

Good thing too, could of gone alot worst.

>Oh buddy buddy, you do not need to call the cops

Fucking female Chink in a 4x4 did this to me on my motorcycle last month, apparently witness statement mean jack shit with a police report

without i mean

Been driving since I was 17 (32 now) and only had one accident, which was from my own dicking about. Was in a car park being a hooligan and hand braked my car carrying too much speed and slammed into a kerb. Put the car on it's side and completely twisted the shell. Nothing closed or lined up properly afterwards. Lesson learned.

Mate of mine was a back seat passenger in a car that another friend crashed. Back seat mate was thrown out the back window when they hit a wall racing around country roads and he was run over by another set of mates in another car following behind.

Three guys I went to college with and were in my computer class were all killed when their driver lost control doing a ton down a country road in a shitty Vauxhall Corsa on chopped springs. Car went end over end and everyone got thrown out of the car. Somehow the driver survived. I was walking behind two tutors discussing the accident and one said "they were picking pieces up all over the place". The field they went into was just strewn with body parts. Driver got 7 years for each of the deaths, but got to serve them concurrently.

A friends brother that was in the car that ran over other mate (passenger, not driving) ended up crashing three different cars. He wrote off a Peugeot 106 GTI and put his best mate in hospital over Christmas at the time with a broken sternum. Once insurance payed out, he bought another 106 GTI and slammed that into the back of a Renault Espace while racing someone else. Then he bought a Vauxhall Corsa SRi while he was waiting to go to court for the second crash. Courts finally banned him for two years.

My brothers best friend ended up in a wheelchair after a motorcycle crash. He'd just got his provisional license, so another friend drove him to the bike shop to pick up his new 125. They were coming home and he lost grip on some gravel near a quarry entrance. Low side slide. Should have been fine. But he slid into the kerb at the side of the road and broke his back.

>But he slid into the kerb at the side of the road and broke his back
Fucking brutual. I love motorcycle but after my crash even only getting a bruise on my knee, you reliase that its real easy to get fucked for life. My bike took the full front of the force writing it off but it stayed completely upright the whole time letting me crash back down into my seat then bounce on the ground. Rip little hyosung

He's not your friend. That's why.

Yes, all of them were Mercedes Benz, and I have never owned a Benz.

This is likely because I work for Mercedes Benz.

Shit happens. Other technicians understand. You can try to account for everything... then you stress test the vehicle, and some shoddy fucking repair done by a third party garage gives way and now you're staring at a ditch.
