My mother once fell asleep at the wheel, about five years ago. I yelled, she woke up and denied falling asleep. Still does to this day, despite me bringing it up fairly often. Don't drive myself, so avoided daft things like you lot.
Watch and wince...

I live at a crossroads, so we get some pretty nifty carnage from time to time. The following story is so ludicrous it may require a diagram for you to grasp the person at fault's idiocy (so I've helpfully provided one).

Car is a taxi, car b is a car. Car a is coming towards the traffic lights (closely followed by car b) and hangs a left. As the driver turns, she receives a call from the depot that a new hire has been booked, but the house is in the opposite direction. So she, without checking, promptly pulls a u-turn and starts driving back through the lights. Car b has no chance. Smash.



Edit: Hmmm, why is it so wee? Damn photobucket. :x

Taxi drivers are teh thick.

That guy died right? That movie made my mouth go dry.......

Not that extreme but still scary.

I once ran down a car when I was 8, 1000 dollar damage to the car, I was ok and went to school

There was a car accident by some freak who was drving on the wrong side of the road in a smooth turn. He his us frontally which was pretty cool, but the cars were wracks :(

3 accidents. None were my fault...seriously.

The other drivers were all women and all driving Fords, thus my reason for hating Fords.

Accident 1

Stormy, rainy night. Pissing down. I was going straight heading towards an intersection, i had the green light.
Aussie road rules: all turning traffic must give way to oncoming traffic. This boyfriend/girlfriend in seperate cars wanted to turn right. He boyfriend turned, which was fine. The girlfriend stupidly wanted to quickly follow him, not seeing me going through the intersection. KABLAMO!! I did a 720 spin from impact, lost the front and side of the car, ended up facing the other direction on the other side of the road. Wasnt hurt...much, and the chick admitted fault, bonus.

Accident 2

Once again going straight, heading towards an intersection. Clear night. This intersection was busy as there is an underage nightclub on the corner, which was ending and parents were coming to pick up their kids. 3 lane road, im in the right lane, with about 4-5 other cars around me in other lanes. Coming up to the intersection, there is a right turning/u-turn lane, occupied by a 4WD (SUV). Reach the intersection, suddenly a car tries to do a right turn from the other direction (she saw a break in traffic, her view of any of the cars coming towards her was blocked by this 4WD wanting to turn right, and decided to gun it).....KABLAMO, in a split second there she is, no time to react, just slam the brakes and brace for impact (im in a 1978 Chrysler Valiant, she's in a mid 90's wagon, can you imagine the damage). Suffered damage to the front right of my car, her car was a mangled wreak. Insurance paid me out for the car and i used the money to fix it up and am still driving it to this day

Accident 3

Same road as accident 2, but about 10 km further away. Clear nite, im the left lane of 3. Doing the speed limit, suddenly a woman drives out of a motel exit WITHOUT LOOKING. Not only that, but she's also on her mobile phone. No stoping at the end of the exit and looking to her right for oncoming traffic, just straight out in one motion. I tap the brakes and swerv into the middle lane, but the bitch when getting onto the road, drove straight into the middle lane. KABLAMO! We collide, my left side with her right front/right side. Susained damage all down the left side of the car. Once again, she admited fault of never looking and being on her phone at the time. Her insurance company didnt want anything to do with her because she was admitting fault and being honest, they even went as far as telling her to lie and put all the fault onto me. Thankfully she didnt do that, but unfortunatelly for her, they left her out in the cold

There's my accidents, fairly lame comparred to some i have read on this thread....but still worthy of putting on this thread.

I've only been in one accident, and it twas my fault..and a dumb one at that.

I was driving to a small town in the morning, and experiencing brutal weather conditions during the entire drive. It was January, I believe, and we had freezing rain coupled with fog that day. I was driving a little too fast down this sparcely traveled highway that I wasn't too familiar with (I was late..idiotic I know).. It was one of those single lane highways, where there is no divider between you and oncomming traffic.

Anyway, I was coming up to a very sharp turn that I saw a little too late, due to the fog. Reactively, I put on the brakes, and becuase of the freezing rain, my car did a 180 on the highway. I was going about 100 Km (I think, no less then 80 that's for sure) While I was spinning, for some reason in my head I was telling myself to lower my head into my lap and cover my face with my hands, so the glass wouldn't cut my face, and I listened. Then as I was skidding sideways to the side of the road, my car hit the snowbank. The feeling of hitting the snow was exactly the same feeling you'd experience if you were sitting in a small boat that got hit by a massive wave. The snow crashed though the passenger window and rushed into the car. My car then began to roll 2 or 3 time and landed on its wheels. I was driving a 2003 Cavalier, and all the panels were dented, plus every window, minus the one in front, were smashed. Although the front windsheild had so many cracks in it that looked like if you dropped even a penny on it, it would break apart..

I got out of the window, since the door was jammed somehow, and I began to swear at the top of my lungs. I looked at myself, and to my amazement, I didn't even have a scratch on me! Nothing! I guess listening to the thoughts in my head, as I was spinning, was a good idea (for once). One of the funny things was that I had an alarm and It didn't go off, nor did my airbags. For some reason, I pressed the button to activeate my alarm (to see what would happen) and it made one of those pathetic sounds you hear in the movies when an alarmed car is smashed, My alarm wimpered for a few seconds and then went to a complete silence..haha. Afterwords, I was taken to the hosptial nearby to be checked out and the doctor was stunned that I was perfectly fine.
