2 RepliesEdited by Vegan Superhero: 8/20/2016 5:13:31 AMThis has nothing to do with your poll but let me tell you, something about you as a person scares me. You make these polls (so far I've seen 3) asking random ass questions for no apparent reason. From what I've seen you reply no one, so all of this just makes me confused. WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT? Also, yes.

Rolled a Nissan pathfinder when I was 16. Trying to make a sharp u turn, in dirt, doing 40 is a bad idea. Ran over the front of a mitsubishi mirage, on the vegas strip, when I was 18. Sitting at a light in my lifted 2000 chevy. The lady thought she was going to cut across traffic. I didn't see her at all until I was already over the car. Literally climbed on top of the front of her car on the vegas strip. Totaled the front of her car, only had 2 small cuts on my tire. T boned by a crown vic doing 35 when I was in a jetta. The lady ran a red light. Wrecked alot racing quads and dirt bikes. So far I've been lucky enough not to be seriously hurt

5 RepliesEdited by DarthBrando: 8/20/2016 7:44:26 AMi was goin 45 mph on an ATV and hit a tree, snapped the front axel, went over the handle bars and nearly got crushed by the atv as it flipped and tumbled 60 feet then rolled back my way. all with outa helmet too walked away with only a bruise on my thigh (handle bars in the groin at 45-0 in 0.05 a second doesn't feel very good) thank goodness for the tuck and roll tho, when you take martial arts as a kid you never actually figure it would ever come in handy much less save your life... if I didn't tuck n roll perfectly, well it only takes 30mph to snap your neck and kill you... pretty sure a faceplant at 45 mph woulda ended me, all that trainin on how to fall and muscle memory tied to reactions really did save my life. next time you see a karate instructor or dorky kid practicing martial arts; keep in mind, that stuff does actually save lives. also if you are driving an ATV on a grass trail or dirt road: its pretty important not to speed---> it could be the last bad decision you make

Edited by Shortbusbanned: 8/20/2016 6:57:01 PMMy friend's brakes went out and we hit a car going at 10 mph. The whiplash was so bad I have no idea how people survive going over 30. Edit: forgot to mention it totalled his car.

Just almost. Me and 3 friends where on the autobahn with 120 km/h at night and the driver was falling asleep momentarily. I was the only one paying attention and noticed the guardrail coming closer and closer. I yelled at him and indeed he fell asleep. I was mad at him and I let him know. Other than that the traffic god likes me.

I've flipped an ATV when the other side of a hill turned out to be a sheer cliff, crashed into a truck after trying to jump a motorcycle and going to far, and fallen off many trailers while trailer surfing. But I've never actually crashed a car before. But there is always tomorrow!!!

Me and my brother was fighting in the back seat as kids and my dad leaned back to hit us at a junction hit the gas and got t boned lol

Nope. Though on my way back to school from a McShell an impala went crashing into the back of a van. It was like slow motion as my friends were just like "woah wtf"

if car is synonymous with living then yes

Yes. I was around 12 years old and my father was driving when we go through a light (green obviously) and *wham*, we hit an ambulance from the side. The guy didn't use his emergency lights or anything, just went right through it no warning, late at night.

I've only witnessed one. I was doing some weeding outside of sobey's and there is an intersection right by it. Though, for some damn reason this intersection doesn't have a traffic light. Anyways, some guy has the right of way and starts driving ahead when BOOM. Some truck Rams right into the front side of the car. Luckily both of the guys were okay, but the car sure as hell wasn't.

Edited by ajaxroach: 8/20/2016 2:30:13 AMThe only time I've ever actually wrecked anything I was 16. I had an 82 long wheelbase Silverado that I was building with the money from my after school job. I had just put a fresh paint job on it and rebuilt a 383 and put in it. I had fooled around on the way home racing some friends. I turned into the gravel road flying like a bat out of hell didn't see the school bus coming at me until it the last second and jerked the wheel. Missed the bus hit a light pole instead.

I live in Michigan so road work in the summer is constant so the three lane express way that I take everyday was, of course, under construction. The left hand lane had been closed for three months and since people still speed through I try and stay in the righter most lane. One day I found myself in the worst of circumstances and I didn't even know it. A semi truck was behind me in the lane to my left and another merged in front of me and cut across my lane into the one to my left. Because it was so tall I couldn't have seen that my lane was closing in <100 feet (they never put up signs saying they closed they were closing the right hand lane). So when the truck moved and I could finally see I was about to crash into the concrete barriers that separate the workers from the cars. I slowed down very quickly and moved slightly to the left to avoid a head on collision with the barricade. That's when the semi truck behind me came past and hit me just in the right spot to rip the front of my car off.

No, not an accident. However, I do have a story. My brother, two sisters and I were all in the family car. We were all quite young at the time. My mom parked at a Dollar General, if I remember correctly, and went in to get the typical things. Before she entered the store however, she realized the car we were in was starting to roll backwards down a slope that would lead into a busy road. She screamed and started running back to the car. Some buff Asian guy who was putting his bags away in the trunk of his car realized the situation, sprinted toward our car, got behind it, and managed to stop the car before it reached the end of the small parking lot. My mom got in the car, drove back into the parking space and put on the parking break. She got out and was crying a little bit and kept thanking the man and trying to give him money. He, being all heroic and whatnot, naturally turned down the offer.

Edited by Steve of Steves: 8/20/2016 2:11:25 AMIn my 16 years driving, I've been in two accidents. The first one was while I was parked in a shopping center. A woman was backing up out of her spot, and backed up right into my parked car. The second accident was the same day I picked up my car from the body shop after the first accident. I was driving down a three-lane road in the far right lane, and an elderly woman in the far left lane quickly crossed all three lanes to make a right at the intersection, slamming into my driver side door and pushing me up onto the curb. That is the week I realized women can't drive for shit. EDIT: Almost got into an accident after writing this. I was in the left lane making a left turn, and some woman to the right of me in the lane to go straight tried to make a left turn and almost side-swiped me.

8 RepliesI was about 10 years old when I was in my first car accident. It was winter and I went home with my older brother (mainly because I loved sitting in the front and I loved hanging with my siblings) from church. We were just about home when the truck hit some black ice. We veered off to the side and rolled and we hit a tree. My brother was bleeding from his head and I was having a severe panic attack. We waited for several minutes before someone came along and called 911 (my brother has lost his phone somewhere during the crash as it was in the cup holder). Soon after the rest of the family had come by and that's when the ambulance had arrived shortly beforehand. Long story short, my brother had gotten 13 staples (medical ones, mind you!) in his head and I left with a broken ankle. We were in the hospital for over 6 hours. It was a miracle that I came out alive because normally I would have to sit in the back seat but you sit sideways (it was an old truck) and the back was completely crushed! If I sat in the back seat, I could've very well died. I now don't like sitting in the front too much during winter and I don't feel comfortable with the idea of driving during winter.

Nothing too severe My Dad drove the car into a fence while he was screwing around with us kids as passengers. Wrecked the front end but that was fixed later. The next year that same car would be destroyed when some street racer crashed into it when it was parked in the city late at night, but I was too young to remember the details at the time. I brought my first car yesterday and the gear stick is very loose. My first act as the owner was to start it in first instead of out of gear and drive the thing straight into this deep ass gutter. Didn't get damaged though.

I was the accident

My brother had recently got his license so he was the one driving us to and from school. Anyways, we were just pulling out of school when he completely rear ended the car in front of us. How, you might ask? [i] he was reading the stickers in the corner of the windshield[/i]

No but I just bought a new Hyundai Veloster turbo today :)

Actually, yeah. I've been in a few fender benders where I wasn't behind the wheel, but there was one notable crash where I very nearly died. During a drive to clear my head one night, I was challenged at a set of lights by an early 2000s Grand Prix SCC coupe. I just couldn't resist it. On green, I was gone. It didn't take long before I had such a lead that I just went back to cruising. Several blocks later, approaching a sharp corner onto a bridge, the little red car caught up and came careening past on the inside. He went wide and nearly side swiped me. To avoid him, I too took the corner wide and under throttle. Just as I got to the actual bridge, I hit a patch of left over gravel and sand from the winter and the back end came out on me. Head on into a city bus. I was partly to blame. Had I just spiked the brakes? Maybe I would have stopped short of the oncoming lane. Alittle less speed through the corner, maybe I could have corrected. Ah, well, what's past is past. Thankfully, the bus driver and a number of witnesses backed my claims that I was cut off by an out of control Pontiac and no charges were laid. Killed my car though. Destroyed the bus. I got to walk a couple miles home from the hospital the next morning, which was a very painful experience - but also a lesson learned. Doesn't matter how good a driver you are: all it takes is for someone to make a mistake. I'll still accept the occasional challenge from a set of lights, but I'm more selective about it now. I'm also alittle pickier about tire and suspension set-ups.

No because I have mad skills and avoid FIBs. Blue lincoln license plate = danger zone
