"Driving almost 40 years and for 22 of those covering between 1000 and 1200 miles per week and only ever had two minor shunts with someone going into the back of me. " That's a really good record.  | |||
"2...which isn't bad in over 30 yeaes of driving, both other drivers were at fault. Last one has damaged my shoulder which now requires surgery x" Sorry to hear hope your shoulder will be ok.  | |||
| |||
"In 38 years only one where someone drove into the back of me" Another excellent record, maybe fab driver's are the best.  | |||

"Two. First was as a passenger 40 years ago. Driver was speeding and the car spun off the road. No injuries, but the car was a write off. The second was about 35 years ago. I was driving a work pick up, stopped at a zebra crossing, but the guy behind wasn't paying attention and ran into the back of me. Caused a lot of damage to his car, and a broken light lens on my truck. Apart from those, nothing else in the 42 years I've been driving." Another pat on the back. | |||

"1 - last week! Minor bump but still shook me " Luckily you wasn't injured. | |||

I have however had a few multi storey parking misjudgements with concrete pillars though "Multi storeys are a nightmare for me too, another fab driver though. | |||

 driving for almost 30 years & had a fair few!!! Not all my fault but the latest encounter last April with a learner driver & her instructor was a bit messy!! Ruled in my favour thankfully!  | |||

"2, one minor and one major. About 5 years ago I was hit by a stolen car at 70 MPH. Broke both my wrists, fractured L2-L4 in my spine & had a bleed on the brain. Still have terrible pain in my back which I get 6 monthly nerve blocker injections. But they caught the guy and he got sentenced to 7 years in prison "Crumbs, you're lucky to be alive! At least the driver was prosecuted but that doesn't improve your pain. We hope you are coping as best as you can  | |||

"How many car accident's have you been involved in? Was it a minor scrape or something more serious? " That I can remember, 4. 3 were minor(ish) the 4th was pretty major and nearly wrote the car off but neither I nor my passenger were injured thankfully. | |||

"How many car accident's have you been involved in? Was it a minor scrape or something more serious? " Since I passed my test I had 3 accidents. First one, 4 months after I passed, I was in my Chrysler Avenger, early on a freezing cold February morning, in the wilds of Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire... The car had an adjustable gas button beside the steering wheel to give it higher revs when starting in the cold, and I entered a roundabout and pushed it in to lessen it off, and she cut out! A man in a mini had entered the roundabout behind me, hadn't realized I'd stalled and clipped my passenger side back corner panel, it spun my car right round to face the other way, and put himself upside down 
Whiplashed in a collar when 6 months pregnant wasn't fun.
Oops.
My car needed a new panel
His car was a write off.
Second one was in my late Hubbys Vaxhall estate, in North London where I used to live,
I turned right to go down the side of my block of flats,
I hadn't seen the little Hillman imp car parked to the right of me behind the row of huge dustbins and rubbish skips,
they pulled out in front of me without indicating,
my brakes were a little slow in responding, and I just caught their back bumper on the passenger side.
Turned out to be my neighbour, a bit off her tits on who knows what, she told me not to worry about the damaged bumper because she accepted she shouldn't have been driving.
Hubbys car just had a small scuff on the paint work, nothing dreadful.
The third one was a bit more serious.
I was coming out of a huge motorway services and turning right on a big M4 roundabout,
as I checked my mirror and indicated to shift lanes out, a big builders flatbed truck came whizzing around from somewhere behind me shifting lanes to the middle without indicating,
and we made contact as we crossed paths
The impact was so hard we had to get the RAC out to move us off the road until I was calm enough to continue to our destination to get the damage fixed.
Headlight was mullered, panels were mangled and the steering mechanisms took a proper knock.
Glad to say none since I've lived in Pembs.

"Quite a lot. Mostly as a passenger. " Thats because the driver can't keep there eye's on the road as they are too busy admiring your beauty | |||

"None. Plus totally clean licence since I passed in 1998" Unbeatable. | |||

"35 years driving and only had one idiot drive into the back of me whilst I was 9mths pregnant. Apparently she was distracted talking to her grandson. I was more bothered that they were OK and then drove myself to hospital
You do what you need to "Luckily everyone was fine. | |||

"According to the cold callers about 3 a month " Me too. | |||

So 35 years driving, 4 claims and I've not been responsible for any.  | |||
"2 accidents with people crashing into the side of my vehicle while I was down country lanes as the local District nurse! 2 insurance claims with vehicles damaging my camper van whilst it was stationary! 1st outside my house (BT van & they settled quickly) and the 2nd whilst on a garage forecourt. The last one was 2 years ago and my insurance company are taking the garage to court as they still deny responsibility.
So 35 years driving, 4 claims and I've not been responsible for any. "Don't you just hate it that you still have to inform the insurance even for a non fault though. | |||

"4. 3 on the day i passed my test! all minor scrapes. the 4th was a rear end on the motorway... ouches!" 3 in one day that has to be a record. | |||
"Around 22 crashes i think iv lost count of exact details " Do you drive in the Destruction Derby? | |||
