I have never crashed my car and I never will in my entire life
Because I'm the best driver in my town

I've never been in an accident while i was driving. The only accident I've been in was when I was a child. My aunt, who was really drunk at the time, was driving when she decided to cut across two lanes of oncoming traffic. We got T-boned by a Corvette, and afterwards she fled the country in order to avoid criminal charges.
Henry Clark
My driveway is gritted in the winter to reduce slippage for cars. Ironically the grit was what I slipped on, on a perfectly dry day. Put my chinese scooter into the fence and had to patch up the broken front fairing and replace one of the brake levers. More ironically yet I rode the thing through a snowstorm half-drunk without a problem. Crashes always lurk where you least expect them. This was almost a decade ago in case you've been planning to accuse me of underage or nocar now.
Liam Davis
Is it worth it to start a new life to avoid a DUI and an assload of fines? Or was it much worse than that?
Jack Sanchez
the guy in that car looks like he's just accepted that this is his life now

I gymkhana'd my sister's 2000ish Outback into a cement pole while she was away at college. I had to pay the $500 deductible and she got the $6000+ insurance payout, and I was /busrider/ status for the entire summer at 17 which fucking sucked but I deserved it.
Haven't crashed since then but I also have kept the reckless driving to a minimum, two cars I've owned since then have had extremely rare front bumpers so I always drove carefully.
James Evans
How did they even get that car out of there?

I lowsided my first motorcycle when I hit some gravel going around a turn at 10mph, no damage to any of the plastics thanks to frame sliders, just a couple of scratches on the exhaust

Glad you are here to share your story lol
Asher Thomas
It hadn't been icy for the rest of the 500+ mile trip, also because "coming over a crest" is code for "on a downhill in a 3/4 ton". And not at all, I've been in two severe accidents with the only injuries being bruising and concussions.

Never crashed. I'm genuinely surprised though, considering i'm incredibly skittish and unconfident when driving in urban areas.

I ended up being at fault because North/South had stop signs, East/West only had yield. Completely caved my door in, I walked out of it, medics said I was lucky to be alive, which felt like a middle finger from the universe cause I wanted to fucking die. The only upside is the insurance payout was more than I bought the car for since it was a beater I fixed myself.

Bought a '99 Audi quattro A6 with the proceeds that someone was shilling on the side of the road. It was a sweet ride for a year or so until I realized why it was on the side of the road. I'm now back to a 2008 accord and feeling rather neutral.

I know exactly how lucky I am. I had a 50 pounds tool chest, forty pound emerg kit, and a bag with my laptop in it. Nothing broke, nothing hit me. I'm absurdly lucky

Yeah I'm an idiot, I normally don't do that but there were 3 other people in the car and it was pretty loud.
I sold it for $3k as it was, didn't have much of a choice because I couldn't keep it on base and couldn't send it home.
(not me in pic)
Hudson Evans
Oh, and the junkyard it was towed to was charging me like $100 a day to keep it there.
I went to go look at it the next day and it was some fat redneck family that owned the towing company just chilling on couches, they laughed at me when I told them I was going to try to sell it.

So I was like 16 and I had an sti swapped 02 wrx. One morning me and 4 friends went out and snow drifted my car. All was going well and I was getting some pretty honestly good drifts until I decided to start drifting on the street later that morning. To be fair, it was an essentially abandoned side road and nobody else was really at risk but me and my passengers who willingly came with me. I took a corner completely sideways in like 7" of snow going roughly 35-40 mph when I spun and slid off the road into two trees which hit the side of my car, totalling it. I basically thought I was ken block or a real drifter or some shit and it didn't work out. That was not a fun phone call to my parents.

They end up finding the guy. He fled the scene because he didn't have his own insurance, but got on a payment plan. I still remember his plate number to this day.
That damn Corolla has been through two more accidents (one major, one minor) caused by my sister and is somehow still on the road.

John Powell
I rear-ended someone who actively fled me when I tried to follow and exchange information. Their car looked shady as fuck and probably had more illegal shit inside of it than wanting to be reimbursed for the damage. I didn't need the points on my license (if cops were called), increased insurance premiums, etc... so I didn't really have a high interest in exchanging info either.
