Car Accidents and You

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!

 

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

 

lol this made me laugh.
Where are you from?

 

in soviet russia you accident car!!!!!! lol

 

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

 

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^^^^^

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!

 

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.

 

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.

oh, ok

 

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

 

i hope your alright
