Have you lost one or more cars in an accident?

Danielle's polls got me curious. Seeing how many cars were bought, WhyYou's statement and my own experience made me put up this poll of my own. Feel free to participate.

Even to me.

" Imagined that one of us will accompany the beautiful Danielle in nice trip by car ". Joking my Friend Danielle.

I have never had an accident. Only the most stupid things.
I am very careful and quiet. Certainly I love the speed. But it makes no sense.

Better to think of our human life. Why life is beautiful.

How did my driving instructor put it? "Driving in a car you've got to think at least for three: For yourself, for the one in front of you and for the one behind you."

I try to do that everytime I'm behind the wheel. Most of the time successfully ...

I lost two cars through crashes that were not my fault. First one was when i had a very nice looking red Ford Escort which i still miss today lol. A driver pulled out at great speed from a side-road and used my front-end to stop making my beloved Escort a write-off. The second was when i was heading up the m4 motorway and another driver tried to overtake only got way too close to me and i had to swerve ending up hitting the crashbarrier. Totalling the car and luckly i got out unhurt. Both drivers were female and i apologise to any female members and Danielle, Lia. But i do tend to check out whether the car in front or behind is being driven by a male of female driver. I know this makes me sound sexist, i don't mean it to be. I know there are very good female drivers out there. I just seem to come across the bad ones. I won't mention about the near-misses i've had from male amnd female drivers lol.

Rainy evening, rush hour traffic on the 101 in N. Calif. on my way home from class, this guy in a "borrowed" caddy zooms in passing on both sides of traffic, plows into the car in front of me (breaking my 3 sec space--bastard!), which winds up plowing into the car in front. I had either to drive off the road & probably tumble, plow into the car to my left in the fast lane, or just slam on my breaks and hope--oh well ...I now understand how salami feels in a sandwich. Oh, the guy had a suspended license, was driving an ex-girlfriend's unregistered, uninsured car (also stolen apparently)--he was led off, I got a tow, but my heart really went out for the person up at the head of the line--she was driving her brand new car home from the dealership! At least mine was over 10 years & over 100k miles old.
