Your first car crash?

[simc66]

First accident - pratting about in my Ford Capri, hit the kerb and put it on its roof.  Wrote off both the car and my ankle (got trapped underneath the pedal and broken on four places).

Written off four cars but that was the only one that was my fault.

One was ludicrous - my J-reg Cavalier 2.0 - which I'd only just bought - was parked outside my house on a main road when at 2am a stolen MkI Cavalier SRi with three chavs in it failed to notice the pedestrian island in the middle of the road (driver was pissed).  Hit the island and then my car at what the police estimated was about 60mph.  Wrote off both my car and the one parked in front of it.  Found part of my rear spoiler in a neighbour's garden six doors down the road.  And found the SRi's rear view mirror in my driver foot-well - having no rear seatbelts, the rear passenger had removed it with his head as he exited the windscreen and travelled into what was left of my motor.  Amazingly, he survived.  Even more amazingly, the driver ran off although was caught soon after.  He got 3 years (TWOC, drink driving, dangerous driving, uninsured, no license, and had cocaine on him when caught as a bonus).

Coming out of Tesco about a week after passing my test. Made it all the way to Bristol no bother, stopped for a drink before going into ikea and got my feet a bit muddled up. Only doing about 10mph but hit a banged up old Escort van from behind. Dented the bonnet a little and smashed a headlight on my mk2 astra duo!  . The bloke got out, went - "not sure which bit you have done so dont worry mate" then drove off! Only one I've had and a lucky escape really!

17 and looking at birds in their short shorts while cruising about WITH the missus in the car, went straight into the back of a brand new Laguna 

Absolutely totalled my Mini, not a scratch on the Laguna so I didn't care lol

My one and only crash was on a TZR125 and resulted in me needing resucitation and a lengthy stay in hospital 

Was my fault, trying to undertake an XR2.

Got t-boned on a junction in a mazda 626 that my dad made me buy because he was sick of me buying daft unreliable cars, i hated that car but i still remember the blood curdling scream from my mate ben in the passenger seat got it fixed then stuffed it up the back end of a vw camper on a roundabout.
Also lost control of my rover 220sdi on gravel and barrel rolled it down a country lane on christmas day, walked away from that.

my first crash-ish was the day after it was icy in a volvo 440 diesel,
60 down some country road which was fine untill i got to a shady corner that was still ice.
sideway all the way round it and got round the corner fine but the car didnt want to stop going round the corner.ended up hitting the verge on the inside of the corner doing a 360 and landing 1foot away from a tree in a small ditch.
not a scratch on the car but i had to get towed out by a rover.
still havent told my dad,that was over two years ago

locked up in the snow in a single lane and hit the ditch instead of the van or fence, and also heading towards mcdonalds drive-thru with a friend in his c2, when a young girl who works there in a pink convertible ka just reversed out and pushed us about a foot sideways, touch wood i don't crash my car

Wow some of you have had a few. 

This was mine:



Thought the steering rack had come off or something, was such an odd experience just having no grip on diesel. Just moved out the way and a KA came and smacked into the same barrier.

Was well upset cause other then the grill, car was finally looking half decent, just needed a rear bumper sprayed and some alloys. Now I have no motivation for it. 

This is it now:
 

Mates van from last Saturday:


Could you believe nearly 2K worth of damage from that? 

[the dude]

I had one in a fiests about 5 months after passing my test, girl decided to change lanes in traffic and went into the side of me,
Then I!!! had to pay for the damage to the car as the insurance couldn't decide who was at fault.

Had a few in the police cars at work too when on blue light runs!
