My wife was driving me and a co worker to work last night, and while turning left on a green light she slipped on snow in the intersection and got stuck and a truck hit us in the back right door. It was pretty scary, both my kids were in the car and my 21 month old daughter was showered with glass which freaked her out. I didn't even have my seat belt on, something which I am normally quite adamant about always wearing, because it was stuck under a car seat and we were in a rush. Being wedged in between two car seats and being hit laterally helped keep me in place I think haha We still went to work afterwards but man I am sore as gently caress. I'm going to see my doctor because I think I may have a broken rib Anyway share some car crash stories here

As for my own story, I got rear ended pretty hard on the highway in October. This guy on the road crew was quite the number! My bottom was sore for weeks.

I've been involved in several car accidents, but the worst happened when I was 19. I was heading home from college, and a friend of mine was driving. It was winter time, and we were driving along Lake Erie. He was doing the speed limit, but it was still too fast and he started to fishtail. He tried to get it under control, but there was a car heading towards as, so he basically had to choose between hitting the car or the ditch, so he chose the ditch. We rolled a couple of times. All I really remember is opening my eyes for a second, and seeing white outside the front window. The car ended up stopping on it's left side, angled with the rear end end pointing in the air. I had my seat belt on so I was kind of hanging in my seat, but my friend wasn't wearing one. He was laying against the window and blood was pooling around his head. I yelled his name but he didn't respond, so I gently patted his arm. I didn't want move him too much, but I was starting to freak out because I thought he might actually be dead. I screamed his name, and he kind of sat up, completely out of it. He looked at me, and I said, "This is why you wear seatbelts, rear end in a top hat." Then we tried getting out, but the door was too heavy to lift. I considered trying to kick out the windshield, but then we heard a voice asking us if we needed help. He came and held the door open while I pushed my friend up and out of the car. Then I had to climb out, which was a real pain in the rear end. We went and saw the car a few days later. His blood was still frozen to the driver side window.

one time i rear-ended this lady literally two days after she got her car out of the body shop for a previous rear-end collision she had this dejected look on her face like "what's the point anymore?"

I've never been an a car accident, have never been pulled over, and have never gotten so much as a parking ticket. This demonstrates that I'm in the top 1% of all motorists in terms of pure ability and law-abiding.Infidel Castro posted:You probably drive like an rear end in a top hat. Incorrect. A huge part of never being in an accident is being able to skillfully avoid accidents, both by driving defensively and having top-notch situational awareness. There have been countless times where I have avoided being hit because of my skills, where a lesser driver would've been clobbered.

Maybe you shouldn't let a woman drive with the kids in the car? Or maybe the kids were the real accidents, and you're trying to find a way to get rid of them without murdering them, in which case good thinking to put them in a 4000 pound missile with a bitch at the controls.

December 1st of this year my brand new Ford F150 was parked at my girlfriends house on a public street. We were awoken at 1:00 in the morning to a loud crash. A drunk driver in a 97 Volkswagen Jetta ran straight into the back of my truck. Totaled his vehicle, the front end was pushed all the way up to the windshield. Airbags deployed, he seemed to be ok. He was intoxicated enough that he thought my girlfriend and I were in the truck because he kept asking us if we were ok under heavily slurred speech. Cops arriving on the scene estimate he was going 45-50MPH which means he also ran a stop sign to reach those speeds. Pushed my truck forward 3 feet in the impact. The good: He didn't get seriously injured and he has insurance. The bad: He did 15,300 worth of damage in the initial estimate. He buckled the frame in two spots, however, it's still driveable. The truck will have to be taken off it's old frame and put onto a new frame. I'm going to have to pursue the insurance company for diminished value as it's a brand new $60,000 truck with 10,500 miles on it.

Stop referencing age in this way unless they're under a year old. Your first mistake was going to work. That will be used against you should you have actual injuries and report them.

Blue Train posted:Join the army and get USAA, your welcome usaa allows family members as well and they are very lenient (very, very lenient, like if your dad was in the army in the 70's you can get a policy no problem) some insurance tipz for you all since ive probably requested 100 quotes by this time in my life and filed more than a few claims (though ive never been in a collision with another person yet). all the big boy companies generally come out to the same price when you manually match the dollar limits. anytime you hear "blurb bluahh blah 15% saved on average" its technically true, but all they are doing is adjusting payout ceilings within their legal limits. you will find if you simply adjust those on your current policy, magically your premium will suddenly match their quote. this applies to nationwide, geico, allstate, esurance, USAA, and so on. so really, what you want to do is try to find a company that offers other discounts if you can based on something else you have, such as a bank account. a lot of banks have little discoutn agreements with certain companies, check your cardholder benefits what you will also find is that premiums are also generally similar at "cheaper" places too... or worse. sometimes much worse. most of the time those places cater to the "uninsurable" and simply the misinformed. if the place youre at has a neon sign that says SR22's, just forget that poo poo. but lets say best case scenario you find some place that is technically cheaper and you JUST need liability? ok. comprehensive? never. they have no interest paying out for many reasons, some practical (they really dont have a lot of money) but mostly cause its a scam. just dont, youre paying for coverage thats just going to be a nightmare if you actually need what you paid for

The worst accident I've been in was because of poor car maintenance. I let my tires get pretty much completely bald, and one day driving to work on the freeway in absolutely pouring rain I lost control while changing lanes. The car went all the way from the slow lane, spinning in circles, across 5 lanes and smashed into the center divider. Luckily I didn't hit anyone else but it is quite a thing looking at freeway speed traffic coming right at you head on and having zero control.

Suddenly, completely lost control going 60 kph (37 mph) on an icy road. Spun around 3-4 complete rotations and went straight off the road, tail first. Could NOT have had an easier landing. Group of young, bendy trees cushioned the impact and since I came in tail first I just pressed against the drivers seat and didn't smash my head into the dash.
