*knocks on wood* I've never encountered any. Thank goodness!

Well, I've only been in two. The last one was a few weeks ago, and that wasn't too bad. The worst was being slammed from behind by a semi-truck that jack-knifed. It shoved my car off the road, and my leg snapped in two places. I had a rack holding the bone in place, and still have a metal plate in my leg as a result of a clean break. I don't remember anything from the time of the crash til 2 days later in the hospital.

I've been in a few! In one I wrote the car off badly - the engine was almost in the front seat with me. I was incredibly lucky to get out unscathed. I was a passenger in another write-off right near the local cemetary. Bad accident that smashed the car up completely. Got away unscathed again. I was passenger in a third car accident that actually wrote off a ski-boat! Again, got out with only bruises... The most expensive was smacking a turbo, 4WD sports car into a deep gutter. Not a scary crash but rather pricey to fix... Oh, and I blew a car up once (by accident). That WAS exciting! Oh, and I've been hit by a car while riding a pushbike a few times - once quite badly but escaped yet again with minor scrapes and bruises although no-one can understand how... Needless to say, my Mum worries.....

When my mom accidentally backed into a wheelbarrow and scratched up the back of her new car, lol. I'm pretty lucky that was it.

POSTAL FURY I was delivering my normal route like a good mailman like I had been doing for half a decade up to that point when I go to make a u-turn to get the other side of the street. I check all the mirrors, standard procedure, no cars, so I start into the turn. This dood in a F-150 comes screaming around a corner and barrels right into me, spinning my postal rig halfway across the street. I came to realize that day that postal trucks are nothing more than glorified tin foil origami. Guy had hardly a cracked headlight and scratched paint, my postal truck looked like it had been smitten by some furious archangel bent on marking it as the first sign of the apocalypse. Had I been sandwiched by two such F-150's they would have had to inflate me before putting me in the coffin. P.S. Guy said it was his fault, he was late for work

Fortunately it was only a small rear ender, about 5mph, no biggie! Unfortunatly I was to blame, I was driving an Audi A6 and reversed into a BMW 7 Series! EXPENSIVE!!!

Darn comments aren't workin'... Thanks Cowboy! Hmmm, I didn't include the time my front left wheel disintegrated at 100km/h either - cause I didn't crash, thanks to a few years of driver training. It doesn't count my rock-climbing falls or mountain-bike crashes either. I'm thinking I am a cat with Multiple Personality Disorder. I'm goin' through the 9 lives of at least 2 of the personalities already! Ah well - whoever said you should tip-toe through life in the hope of safely making it to your death-bed eh?

I have written off two cars in my 3 years of driving. Agonizingly enough, none of them were because my fault.

hit from the side by another car traveling at high speeds.

I got rear-ended while stopped when driving my mom's van. The van was fine and no one was hurt, but the dude who hit me's car was folded up like an accordian.

What does the picture have to do with the question? Once I was driving at night after drinking 16 beers and having been up the previous night on ecstasy, I passed out and woke up as I was driving off a cliff. It was too late. I drove off the cliff down a steep hill with tumbleweeds flying in through the windows. I was so drunk that I was calm throughout the whole ride. I called AAA and waited on the side of the road for them. I passed out and woke up surrounded by an ambulance, a fire truck and a group of strangers standing around. They said I feel asleep in the road, and that the cops were on the way. The cop came and took me to my car. I marked the part of the road where I drove off with empty beer bottles. I waited in the back of the cop car for about 3-4 hours because it wasn't the sheriff's jurisdiction. Highway patrol never showed up and the cop wanted to end his shift, so he told me to wait on the side of the road. Of course I just walked home. We had to get my car out with a crane later, and there were only minor scratches on it. That was one hell of a night.

It wasn't really bad. It was a rainy afternoon and I was following the front car a little too close. The next moment, before I realized anything, I rammed straight into his car. The brakes just did not seem to work at all. Praise the Lord the damage to both our cars wasn't so serious.

Flew off the back of a motorcycle at highway speed when I was a passenger on a bike that hit the bike in front of it trying to brake. First bike's brakes were better than second bike's! I remember flying through the air and being aware of oncoming traffic and wondering if they would hit me. We ended up in the grass in the ditch on the other side of the road. Got off with just a few scrapes and bruises and so did the driver of the bike.
