Car Accidents

[PM_Mama00]

First accident I was in 5th grade and we were in Brooklyn for my cousin's wedding. My parents and I were in the front seat (Lincoln Towncar... it was legal to sit three in the front) and my aunt, uncle, and 2 lil cousins in the back. It was so rainy out and we were on the highway, people were doing prolly like 30-40mph. There were so many accidents that nite. Anyways so we get slammed from the back, pushed into the next lane over and then hit again. The whole trunk was pushed up. The reason we got hit wasn't cuz it was slippery... some guys followed us from the reception hall because they saw the wedding money bag being put in our trunk. They ran from their car and I duno if they ever got caught. Funny tho cuz my dad was stressed so he lit up a cigarrette. A cop came over and told him there was gasoline on the ground and that he needed to put it out... the same cop a few minutes later was on the side of the highway... smoking!

Six months after I got my license, I took some friends out to eat. My backing up skills still weren't perfected, and I was tryin to keep my Mountaineer from hitting the Camero next to me. I kept backing up... bang. Hit a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee. The price-- $800 in damage to his car cuz I hit the airbag sensor. I just had a big dent in my trunk.

A few years later, same parking lot, I was backing up in my new Mountaineer that I had gotten that week (we lease cars). Some crackhead came flying thru the parking lot and I hit her. I was flipping out apologizing but she said it was ok cuz I was young and it did no damage to her car. I kept that one from my parents. "What happened to your bumper" "I duno, someone must've hit it in the parking lot".

My 3rd Mountaineer, I decided to back up into a spot at my favorite restaurant. I told my friend to watch so I didn't hit the damn lightpole... I'm goin, goin, goin, CRUNCH. Didn't do much damage, just a lil scratch. The same truck, the day I was returning it to the dealer last week, the guy was telling me where to park it, so I pulled up and heard a crunch again, but thank god he didn't notice! I ended up not gettin my new car, so when I got home I looked at the front bumper and it was pretty scratched.

On to Mountaineer #4... I just got it a few days ago but I'm looking to keep this one scratch free!

HAHA, something like that happened to my dad when he was little only his older brothers knocked it out of gear and dove out of the car. LOL. It was in the driveway of their house... of course Daddy is ok.

#1, collegian days, on the way back from initation, there was a train stuck on the track so I decided to turn around at a gas station. Unfortunately, I didn't see the fire hyrant and smashed a side of the car. ((There was a cop 2 cars behind me in line but he didn't pull me over after I hit it.)

When we got back to the dorm, I wouldn't look at it, I made a sister tell me, lol. When I called my dad to tell him what happened, my younger brother said my dad had something to tell me. Dad said brother was lying, (of course, lol). Turns out when I went home the next weekend, he had bought a used car for me! The "wrecked" car was the family second car..can't remember why I had it, lol!! Luckily the dent wasn't thattt bad!

My RED 96 Stratus got hit 3 times!! You'd think they'd see a RED car!!

2002 Altima - had a couple of months. Hubby was coming to work to save me a time driving home since we were heading to south Ga. A dingbat in a Toyota Corolla, which her mom had bought her 3 weeks prior...was driving a stickshift (which she didn't know how to drive!!!)) with a broken arm bandaged up!!!! ((Boy was HER insurance agent surprised at that!!)) Claimed she didn't see hubby when he stopped at the top of the exit ramp. Luckily only damage was that trunk wouldn't close and I think they had to replace a taillight??

Atlanta traffic is why I want hubby to trade in 92 Honda Civic and get a taller car!! But he hates new car prices and any car payments...with over 200k miles, he will trade within the year!!

I got in a wreck Senior year of high school, like 2 weeks before Homecoming. I rearended my neighbor on the way to school one morning. It was horrible because it was my second ticket and we had the dumb rule that if you got 2 tickets before you turned 18 (my first was a speeding ticket on the way home from work on New Years Day, damn Mt. Healthy cops!) you lost your license for 3 months. I cried the whole time that my neighbors dad felt so bad for me. Everyone knew about it by the time I came to school during 2nd period. The funniest part is that my neighbors sent me a card telling me not to feel bad about it. We still joke about it to this day! My mom tells me I'm the only person who can wreck into someone's car and make them feel bad for me!

I've only been in 3 car accidents.

Accident Number One:
I was three years-old. My father was driving my mom's father's pick-up truck. Dunno what happened but I remember my mom screaming and throwing me under the dashboard. I remember looking up and seeing my mom's face all cut up and bloody. A family friend was walking by and he walked me all the way to my grandparent's house.

Accident Number Two:
I was 15. It was July. My family was going out for the evening and before I had to go to my babysitting job my mom offered to let me drive with her to pick up the pizza. I drove the minivan with my mom next to me and grandma in the back seat. Well I didn't have much experience driving and had to pull up inbetween two other minivans. I pulled in but was very very close to the car to my right and not paying attention (nothing that backing up and straightening out couldn't have fixed)...my mom goes AHHH and I FREAK, lose my consintration and hit the accelerator and the brick pillar infront of me (preventing me from making it DRIVE THRU Little Ceasars.

Accident Number Three:
On the way to the State Speech Tournament I was driving behind my speech coach's car. It had just rained and the light turned yellow and he came to a complete stop. I went to push on the break, hydroplaned, hit his car. Luckily I wasn't going too fast.

Ive been in 4

1: I was going to work and this lady in front of me on a residential road stopped because the car in front of her turned. To make it worse is that she got out of the car and was 8 months pregnant.

2: I was driving home from a mandatory rush party at 5am. I hadn't slept all week and fell asleep behind the wheel. I was almost home when I hit a neighbors concrete mailbox...

3: I was driving to visit my parents. I was only 5 mins from my fraternity house when a car ran a red light and hit me.

4: Only 3 days after accident #4, I was driving to an exec meeting at our advisor's house when a car failed to yield and hit me in the rental.

Many accidents aren't my fault, but the amount of totaled cars i've had in 1 year has dubbed me worst driver in my chapter....
