No problem. Nothing to be ashamed of. Lewis Hamilton crashed in the pit lane. Twice.

only accidents i've been in are when my sister was driving, so quite a few. two weeks after getting her first car we got into a lame accident where she failed to hit the brakes thus hitting the person in front of us. weren't going fast but she managed to total the car, was really dumb.

Pretty shitty to get in an accident so soon after getting your permit. I've been lucky enough and have avoided getting in an accident or getting a ticket for 5 years now.

I just took my first driving test a few weeks ago, and failed. I've had my permit for about four years, but have only gotten behind the wheel to practice a handful of times in that period. It was raining when I took my test, but I hit a few stupid instant fails that I'm pretty sure I can avoid next time, and my driving wasn't bad other than that.

Never been in an accident myself.

My brother has been rather unlucky, though. Totaled his bike years ago, his Civic several years ago, and his Scion a few back.

I had my first car accident (and last, hopefully) 2 days after taking my driving license, which was also my 19th Birthday..... it was a minor self accident. I hit the church wall..... I remember the pastor walking out to see what was happening only to see me really pissed and cursing

During my drivers test I got the car in the sidewalk, it was only a tire on a very tight turn. I passed a stop sign, don't know what happened there... I just did not stop. I turned to see the guy and he smiled a little.

I had been driving for about a year before the exam.

70 points were needed to pass. I got 72. I was very happy (:

Wow, some lax rules in the US. Either of these on it's own would be an automatic fail here in Canada.

The car has been totalled already but you were able to salvage it? That doesnt make any sense T_T And financially...well you should have car insurance for that...

My sister had an accident in it last summer. The guy from insurance came over and declared it was totaled. We could either get 13k from insurance, they take car and we buy a new one or they give us 11k and we keep the car. We had a guy from a body shop give it an estimate and he said 8k, so we salvaged it. but now that we have already salvaged it once, I'm not sure whats gonna happen. Given that it was 90-100% his fault it should be fine, but you never know.
