How many auto accidents have you been in that were YOUR fault?

one and a half.... someone pulled into my driveway as i was pulling out, and even though everybody says it's my fault because she was stopped, i dont completely think so b/c she pulled in while i was already halfway down the driveway, still moving. WHO DOES THAT?!?

Rear-ender

I dont drive. And have fortunately never been in a car accident with anyone else driving.

I've hardly ever driven a vehicle, and when I have/do, I am so freikin' cautious and law abiding that I even get on police men's nerves! Hence I've never been in an accident.

I've never had a ticket or been in an accident -- I've been driving for twenty-five years.

I was in a small one in high school where I was backing up in a parking lot and didn't see a car behind me. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I think it was my fault. At the time, I thought she came around and tried to pull past me, but that seems unlikely. There wasn't serious damage, though.

:::While knocking on wood:::
I haven't been in an accident as of yet.

1, when I was 8 years ago or so

One. I rear-ended someone at the red light. I thought it had turned green. I was wrong!

two--but the cops said the last one was---they lie!!!!!!!!

only once and it was very minor...no damage or injuries

None. I've was in 2 accidents when I still drove, but neither was my fault.

None.. when I first got my license, I put a couple scratches on my car.. but never an accident in the sense I think you mean here.

I was knocking too!

Only one. Back in November of 1993 when I was working south of D.C., I pulled out in front of an oncoming car that made a last-minute decision to come in the lane I was pulling out into. I was not convicted in court because the other party didn't show up.

None that were my fault, but 3 that were someone else's. One, a lady pulled across two lanes of traffic to get into another lane heading in the other direction and pulled out in front of me and I broadsided her. Another was when I ran a stop sign and hit a taxi but deemed not my fault due to mechanical error as my brakes failed. The last one a man ran a stop sign and drove out in front of me. That one left me with a ruptured disk in my neck that I have since had surgery to correct.

I've had three total, although I was the only car involved in two of them.

i have been in one accident and it was not my fault because i was the passenger.

One. I had but only a few months of experience driving. The accident was completely my fault, as I rear-ended a car stopped at a red light. Now, many, many years later, I STILL remember how awful that incident was, and it still effects my driving, and my attitude towards driving, towards a more cautious bent.

I'm not sure if you could count them as accidents... Once I went into reverse and turned at the same time and managed to catch my fender in a friend's bumper, my fender popped off and went flying. Anther time, while driving a large U-Haul truck, I scrapped the bumper off of my car. Another time, I backed into a friend's car and broke a tail-light. In each case, the other car in the accident was not moving and not occupied.

I knocked along with you, too.

Are you not driving anymore?

Been driving for almost 30 years and I can proudly say none.
There is a nice dent on our back bumper but my husband put it there! God forbid if I should have dented it, I never would have heard the end of it!
Dang the old cliché about women drivers...

You have to go to court when you have a traffic accident?

And you admit to that??!!
Warn me next time you're getting behind the wheel!

I try to drive only small cars, it seems to lessen the amount of damage.

No, I'm legally blind. I stopped driving in 1985.

I've had 2 but they were both minor and the last one was 4 years ago.

Wow. I can't even begin to imagine what a difficult transition it must have been for you when you were losing your sight.

None

1.
My Volvo had a scratch on the bumper, the other car (a Fiat) was 5 inches shorter.

One...but I had buttloads of insurance and my agents are brilliant. I got a new car out of it. Don't know what happened to the folks I hit. I think my agents "took care of them".
*ominous muzik*

*walks right into you*
HEY! That was your fault, mister!

1. rear ender.
2. I rolled a car on black ice,

I've never had an accident while driving. I haven't driven for quite a few years and I've never had a license, but I have owned a car and I have driven many many times.

Amazing how many of these accidents involved hitting another car that wasn't even moving at the time. I suspect that means that people actually caused a lot more accidents but weren't willing to admit being at fault. It is hard to blame someone that isn't even moving, but I see someone tried!

I have been used to vision problems since I was a small child. Both my sister and I were born with cataracts.

maybe 2-3, hard to say!

Well, thank you for sharing. If I may ask, what (if anything) is modified on your computer monitor to aid in your seeing; especially reading like in a forum like SC?

I have never been in an auto accident. I was in a minor motorcycle accident that was the other driver's fault because he didn't see me. My car was smashed into by another driver in a parking lot once when it was foggy, but I wasn't in the parked car, so I don't think that counts. (That was actually my dad's car, and I was a teenager. My dad blamed me for parking in the wrong place, even though I was in a marked parking space!)

Oh, I almost forgot -- I was rear-ended fairly hard one time, but there was no damage, so it was no big deal. It was in a Pinto, and it didn't explode!

I use a larger font and sit as close to the monitor as possible. That seems to work pretty well.

Here in Virginia, if there's a traffic violation that results in an accident, you are required to appear in Traffic Court. For other traffic violations (such as speeding or running a red light) that don't cause accidents, you have an option of whether to mail your fine in (which is called "waiver of a trial"), or you can appear personally in court.

How considerate!!

Sounds expensive!! Up here, we let the car insurance companies fight it out - you only go to court if you're charged with DWI which is a crime and not considered a traffic violation. You can go to court for a ticket if you want to fight it but it's often too much trouble so you just pay the fine...

What state do you live in?

Province - Quebec

Hey! Why don't you watch where I'm going!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing...

No problem!

only 1, 18 yrs old, drunk, hit a telephone pole, totaled my 1st car 2 weeks after i got it!! who was the bright person that put poles on the side of the road anyway???

1 was my fault because I let my friend try to drive before she had her license. We were in a parking lot & she hit a pole.
