Maybe.

The only one that affected traffic () was when I was 17 leaving the Outer Banks after a week at the beach.  I got distracted by something and plowed into the back of my friend's pickup at 15mph due to somebody stopping short five or six cars up.  Instantly totaled my much loved 9000turbo.  His truck just needed a new bumper and it was fine.

Quoted:
I've been in um, three or four wrecks since I've been driving I think, and none were my fault.

**knock on wood**

Only one and it was a single car accident. I simply fell asleep at the wheel for the ten seconds it took to take a low speed jaunt through the ditch.






I learned my lesson about rest.

Technically it was my fault, but I still think nobody should be 'at fault' during Dallas rush hour traffic.  A woman stopped (she never gave a reason to anyone involved or the officer when he asked her), another woman in an explorer bumped her, my brakes locked up (I have needed anti-lock brakes three times in my life and they've never worked when really needed) and I skidded into the rear end of the explorer.

I got stuck in traffic once, and got a little too excited when it seemed like it was finally moving. I sped up, let my attention drift for a moment, and then locked up my brakes to keep from hitting the car in front of me. I tapped their bumper. We both pulled over. Their bumper had a scratch from my license plate, and my license plate cover was smashed. I said (paraphrasing) "My bad, do you want my insurance information." They laughed and drove off.

I also slid off of a gravel road and into a ditch in the winter. I was "at fault" for that one as well...

I was in 1 accident. I don't think it was my fault even though I hit the car infront of me. I always keep 3-4 seconds between me and the next car if not more. Well I had a huge black SUV infront of me and what I couldn't see was that the car infront of him stopped in the middle of the road due to a fucking dog

Well because that fucking asshole in the SUV not paying attention I was given no warning. Said asshole swerves at the last second leaving a parked fucking car infront of me and I was blocked in and at 45 mph all I could do was slam on the brakes.

Right before I slammed into the that stopped car I saw that fucking dog out of the corner of my eye. Then it was the airbag...

Bullshit...

My wife t-boned a mini-van in an intersection where my wife ran a red light.



Clearly her fault.




Items leading up to the accident/collision:




It was raining

The intersection was not a typical 4 way, it was a staggered "X" type intersection (so the minvan she hit came from her 9 o'clock at about 35 miles per hour) and the stop lights were on cables about ten feet higher than they would be if they were on poles, and a mini-van and 2 female drivers were involved. I kid about the last part, but seriously, my wife is not a great driver.




Luckily no one was hurt at all really. Everyone walked away, both cars were totaled. No lawsuits filed. Insurance did its job and I got to experience getting a frantic call from my wife after the accident happened. See we had just had lunch, she was about 5 blocks away from my work where she had just dropped me off after lunch. I didn't even hang up the phone, I dropped it and sprinted the 5 blocks, beating the ambulance there. My daughter was in the back seat, she was 9 months old at the time. I was pissed off and scared shitless at the same time.

Luckily everyone was as fine as could be expected after an auto accident.




This was about 5 years ago.

When I was 17, I drove my Ford Tanus (yes...I said Tanus) into a little old Dutch lady's house.

Not my car. Mine was Gold and smashed

I've been driving 25 years now w/o an accident that was my fault.  I've been rearended by the mayor of my town.  I've had a lady that had just totalled a car 6 months earlier total my car by turning in front of me w/o any time for me to react.  My car has been run into numerous times in parking lots but I've never been the cause of an accident.

I rear ended someone stopped at a green light when I was 17.

Still dubious about fault - but my insurance co. paid.  Yes, I hit him (i.e. failed to maintain control of my vehicle).  He should not have been stopped at a green light, though.  

Oh well.

13 years later, I got a speeding ticket.  My first one.  71 in a 55.  

Oh well.

pouring down rain had a girl in a mustang pull out in front of me and I slid in the rain and smacked her hard I thought
she gets out and is a real hot nurse and is all upset. no damage to her vehicle mine looks fine so I cut her loose.
I get to where im going and not in the rain and my bumper kicked up and busted both headlights.... damn you hot blonde!!!

you mentioned a 350z so story time....
running down I10 and I see a 350z running through the median and Im like uhh what?
about that time it hits the side of the rode and starts cutting flips across my lane. lands on the feeder road in a fantastic splat and wheels go flying in every direction.
stupid little blonde girl playing on her phone veers over and clips a 18wheeler broke down. oversteers and goes across 2 lanes and median
got to her car and shes still sitting there both hands holding cell phone. airbag smacked the phone smooth into her face and she is in a pretty good shock but otherwise unharmed
luck was on her and my side because if she landed in my lane I think my truck would have used her little car as a ramp at 65-70 mph.

still have a good mental picture of that pretty blue car 15 feet in the air and landing in one big splat

i rear-ended a little toyota once while driving my old F-150. it was a sunny, nice evening and a cute gal was walking by, i craned my neck to check her out and at that point the toyota decided to stop to turn. BAAM!!!!

hilarious thing was a lady cop was driving the other way at that point and got it all on video. got me fair and square. she asked what happened and.. i told her the truth. she laughed.

i got a 40 dollar ticket. i think it totalled the toyota and barely scratched my front bumper.

I'll say it.  Every accident I've ever been in was my fault.  All involved me driving too fast through curves on wet roads.  Only one involved me hitting another vehicle, but I'd only had my drivers' license about 2 weeks on that one.  I haven't had an accident in over 10 years now, though.  I learned my lesson early.

I shut down I-5 once

My fault, no one was hurt, but I took out a mini-van and the car in front of her.

Drove my truck towning a 5th wheel, 50 miles home

That day kinda sucked

I've been in 3 accidents.  None were my fault although 1, I definately should have known better to put my car in harms way.  Just north of MCAS Iwakuni there's a 2 lane traffic circle by the train station.  A truck was in the right lane (inside lane) and I was going to pass him just at the begenning of the circle.  It was late... maybe around 1200 at night and I should have known the truck driver was going to use all of the lanes to go around the circle.  I figured he'd check his mirrors though and he'd see me.  I was about even with his rear tires and I saw him start to come over into my lane.  Slammed my brakes and the hinge on his tool box caught my bumper and gouged out a bit of it.

Other than that, I was rear-ended in Hiroshima at a red light that I was stopped at.  Don't know what the guy was doing to distract him but he hit us pretty good.  Then 11 months after getting back to the US, I was riding my Ducati and was slowing down for a red light infront of MCAS Beaufort.  A 82 y/o that was passing me thought he had enough room to cut infront of me...  He was wrong by a couple of inches.  Never stopped although a passer by was able to get his license plate info for me.
