Car Accidents and You

Mark_80I've had a few minor accidents, like skidding off the road in the snow, and hitting a guy because he slammed his brakes, and my brakes were in real bad shape.
But the worst was when i was about 16 yrs old.
I was riding a bicycle to work, and everyday i stopped at a stop sign, and no cars would ever come.
I guess you can tell, the one day i didn't stop, WHAM!
I only remember being in the ambulance, but apparently, the car's right front tire hit my bike's front tire, which bended completely, making the bike crash against the side of the car.At which point i flew off the bike and broke the rear window with the back of my head.
The force of my head breaking the glass made my three top front teeth come out.
They just came out, did not brake.Someone found them later by the side of the road and gave them to me.They had the roots and everything.Pretty long suckers.
Yeah, so i ended in the hospital with a cranial trauma and no front teeth.
ace101, i see you just posted about loosing a tooth, well i beat you on that, lol...

You got me there. LOL

I've never been in an accident before.But looks like you'll have to walk again Peachy

Whooo... Peach, crazy stuff happening. So... the lesson learned here is...: OLD PEOPLE AND CARS DON'T MIX!

I've never been in a car accident, although I have been hit by a car when I was walking. That's about it though.

"Barely into adulthood" does not mean "old" jeez..

Only my TOE has been run over.Actually, a car's tire was stuck on top of my toe for about five seconds. I turned out to be OK though XD

I've been in one.My family and I were cruising down a motorway towards Strabane when the car in front of us braked suddenly. We braked and avoided crashing into the back of them, but the car behind us was too close to stop. Unfortunately, we had a trailer attached to the back of the car so it crashed through the back door. Our poor dog was frightened out of his wits for days afterwards (He was in the boot at the time and just narrowly avoided being crushed).

the topic sounds like something out of an old car teaching ed movie..... :)
well i hit a parked car if that counts

Wow, I was thinking of starting a thread like this after I got into a car accident (as a passanger, in China)I was in the front seat of a van that could fit like 12 people (they have those! LOL!) We were driving back to our hotel after eating some good food. Then we were crossing a bridge and stopped at a stop light (YES, people there do stop at lights!)There was a motorcycle in front of us. It was a green light at we accelerated. The motorcycle ahead of us stalled (Aparently, a lot of people in China drive MANUALS, because they own) and we crashed into it. It was much of a fender bender. We only drove like 2 meters and the motorcycle was under the van (partially). It felt like 4 seconds of high heart rate times. The motorcyclist only suffered from really minor injuries. Then the police came in three minutes. Then we went to the local motor shop. Wow, it was like 50 meters away from the accident site. Fixing the motorcycle was really cheap (like $7) to fix some bent mirror stick and the engine (which was barley damaged, the fuel injector was re-attached). Then we all left.And that was my first time in a car accident.BTW, damn, the car is messed. But it's not "THAT" bad! :D

Ive been in one, while learning I had a brain explosion and ended up clipping the rear of a car turning right at a roundabout. both cars were fine apart from about $4000 of damage. As for the worst accident Ive seen, 5 of my schoolmates were in a car, lost control around a corner and rolled it down an embankment, only 1 guy survived. The car looked like a pancake cut in half by the end of it

garychencool · #28a lot of people in China drive MANUALS, because they own

lol this made me laugh.
Where are you from?

A lot of people in china don't drive cars. They ride busses.

Replying to #32

Think again!So then it's not their fault that the bus crashes into something!BTW, people ride/drive motorcycles and bikes but I see a lot of cars.AND: Cars there are cheap because they lack some saftey standards.^^^^^a "kinda" busy highway^^^^^^^^^^moderately busy^^^^^^^^^^^the highways that I went on for the majority of my trip to China^^^^^

msg2009 · #30lol this made me laugh.

Manuals save gas, are cheaper and are more powerful. You save gas if you know how to drive one. Not many females drive vehicles or manuals...BTW, I am in Canada and I went on China in August 2009. Ate a lot of food, puked a lot and bought a lot of bootleg items!

Replying to #33

They are not more powerful it just that manuals have the ratios picked for the engine, and are not or cheaper, at least not in the UK.
Most cars here are manual, auto's are seen as grandad cars and half the people on the road are women.

automatics are more expensive in the UK and manuals have better performance, especially at higher speeds. Mnauals are also more fuel efficient.

I mean in China

I almost bought a honda accord a few years ago and the prices were the same, maybe it was just that car/dealer or whatever.My dad drives an auto, I hate driving it, no control at all with them, I like to use engine braking and pick my own gear for corners.

Or in India and countries where traffic/driving rules are almost not existant!
