Well OT it finally happened. My clean driving record wiped away in a flash. :P

I got into my first car accident today, and I was wondering if maybe I should spark the memories for others. So post your first accident, unless you're the person I was trying to be and haven't gotten in one yet.

When I was 16, I lost control of my car on a gravel road, spun out and rolled my car 2.75 times down a low mountain hill and landed driver's side door down. I was undeservedly uninjured, though the passenger door was jammed, so I had to kick out the windshield to get out of the car. No accidents since that one; it was pretty educational for me.

My friends and I were heading home on a half day of school. We were taking a road that my friend wasn't familiar with. We were going about 70mph and there was a very sharp turn. He didn't know about it and I wasn't paying attention. Nor was the kid in the passenger seat. Well we came up apon the turn much too fast and there was no time to stop. We hit the tree head on and I was thrown from the back seat into the dash between the front 2 seats. I wound up with a broken left femur and badly broken left fore arm. I was air lifted to the biggest local hospital and was immanently put into surgery. I now have a 20 inch rod in my leg and a metal plate with 6 screwed in my left fore arm. I have pictures if anybody's interested in seeing the wreck.

I don't remember which one was my first as I have been in around 10-12 in my life. One of them my car was wrecked. I was trying to race it and I went over some railroad tracks and went flying into the air and when I hit the ground I lost control. I ended up with an avoid median sign half way through my engine and on the other side of the road. I was knocked out from the crash for a second and luckily it was early morning so there was no oncoming traffic. Car was totaled and the towing guy came and picked it up and I went the next year or so without a car after that. That was the end of my first car. Luckily I did not get arrested and the police said that they would be sending me a bill for the sign but they never did. I diden't even get a ticket for it

The first time I ever drove, I got into an accident on my street with my neighbor's truck... That was pretty excellent.

I was flooring it to get out of the high school parking lot to get out before the rush, and had to turn onto a road from the parking lot. I was going too fast into the corner and my brakes couldn't stop me in time from hitting the car that was on the road. Oops. Luckily he was stopped.

Well... I had this lady following me to close and Florida is like... "who ever hits from the back is at fault"... So I pressed the breaks hard and I got about 25k because my lawyer was able to prove my back hurts.

I've never been in one driving. Closest I've gotten to being in one was when I was a passenger in a car that backed into another car (gently, bumping it) in a mcdonalds drive thru. Nobody was hurt, no information needed to be exchanged.

That is not fraud...what he did is allowed...he just stepped on his brakes...that does not make it right though. But who the hell knows what will happen after one car hits another. -there could be a pedestrian hit, cars go into other lanes, some odd piece of metal impale someone, etc. I can't believe there are people that would intentionally cause a wreck

What happened, exactly? As for me, I don't drive. However, I was once hit by a car while riding my bike. I didn't sustain any injuries, but my bike was damaged.

Never been behind the wheel in one, but I was riding shotgun in a small car on a remote, icy road, when we slid into the oncoming lane and got hit by an 18-wheeler. We were fine, but the car got totalled. The 18-wheeler pretty much knocked it the **** out.

The closest i've ever come to an accident while I was driving was earlier this year when I almost got taken out by a drunk driver. I was on another remote highway at nightgoing around 65 when this guy in a pickup came speeding up behind me at like 85-90 and got into the left lane just in time to avoid sideswiping me. He then drifted a little off the left side of the road onto the median (which was just grass), and jerked back hard, which caused him to flip on his side and skid off the other side of the road. My reaction was like: 0_o

When I was 17 I was driving home doing about 90 to test out my wheels (plus I think I was in a bad mood :P), and I was unaware they were resurfacing a section of road. Long story short I hit the gravel and tar and did a 180 in the road and slid sideways into the ditch. A tow truck came and pulled me out, aired up my back passenger tire, and I drove home unscathed.

I never got in one, but I was with my friend when he got his first. He still had restrictions on his license, and there was 3 other people in the car. We all told my friend to do a ghetto turn, so he went 40 on a right turn, and hit a fire hydrant. The worst part was we all didn't have our seatbelts on.
