| So who's the best driver on here? 14:30 - Sep 28 with 3452 views | BrixtonBlue |
I've been driving just over 14 years and never had an accident. Well, someone reversed into me while I was stationary in a petrol station, but I don't think that really counts.
Guess it depends how much you drive as well. In the early days it was quite a lot, backwards and forwards from uni to digs, digs to work and digs back home to Essex. Not so much these days, although the odd trip to Essex and Birmingham to visit parents.
Crystal Palace to the Lake District is my furthest drive. |  |

I could tick off everything on your list except that someone went into the back of me.
However, I have driven into stationary objects that are not hedges including one that wrote a car off! I have also been pulled over by police on at least 2 occasions to be spoken to about my driving (one of these I believe unfairly and the other for speeding where I don't believe he had the evidence but knew I had been).
I have also never had any points on my licence. It sounds a carefully constructed list! |
I missed a few off because I didn't want anyone to think I was dangerous as this is about the best driver.
It all changed when the insurance bill was £1250 for a car worth £500.
My missus kept telling everyone I was an a*se and not to get in my car so I stopped exceeding speed limits, drinking then driving, smoking spliffs while driving and basically just calmed down.
And don't get me started on the police. They were always friendly though. "Hello Smokes - Did you get that insurance like we told you?"
"Points mean Prizes" such as catching the 48 bus for 6 months.
It would be fair to say I had a misspent youth - but hey it was fun, no regrets and I never injured anybody. |  |

I was the last vehicle in a group of about ten vehicles going no more than 20 mph. About twelve deer sprinted through the hedge accross the road.
The last and biggest one hit me, taking out the side panels and windscreen. Fortunately it then hit a lorry on the other side of the road killing it outright. Bad enough wiping me out, but would have hated seeing it badly injured and dying a slow death. I have been confronted by a deer and a loose horse in the road twice since then and always drive in anticipation of there being something round the next bend.
Annoyingly the car was one I rented from a friend whilst waiting for the claim to be sorted from the previous wipe out by the women crossing the 't' junction towards a field opposite despite telling the police that she knew the road well.
The sleeping driver hit me several times whilst I was stopped at traffic lights in a queue. He had his foot on the accelerator and bounced me into the lorry in front a couple of times while he woke. He hadn't been drinking but had his kids with him. Virtually no damage to his car but left mine looking like one of those circus clown cars with bits dropping off front and back.
The mashed potato was whist on my motorbike during summer. I came round a bend and the road was covered a foot high for 50 metres in what looked like snow. Turned out a farm lorry had offloaded its full load of potatoe pig swill. I didn't stand a chance. I had to claim off the farm union. The farmer tried to claim he warned me to stop, which was a lie as he was round the next bend out of sight. [Post edited 29 Sep 2020 1:06]

Fair enough I certainly stand corrected on the deer one. If it ran into the side of your vehicle definitely no responsibility on you. Must have been a fairly dramatic experience. |  |

32 years and not as much as a scratch. (apart from idiots in car parks knocking my car) Drive about 20,000 miles a year, but less than half this year. It will only be a matter of time mind, more idiots than ever on the roads these days. |  | | |

I was running an errand with a mate of mine once in a box van and had to run a bit of gauntlet reversing down some driveway that had some obstacles along the way.
He turned to me and said, "you're the best driver I know"
And as I was lapping up the praise I backed up to this unit and took out the guttering which I hadn't spotted due to my newly found ego. |  |

Not terrible
but I will admit to hitting a few others cars causing a bit of a pile up/jam
I think it was the bloke who had jumped on the back, and was wanting my token which distracted me |  | | |
