As title says, there is a lot of people who pass their driving test and crash within a couple of months, so who hasnt.

I have had my license since may and have not crashed my car, loads of nearer misses but no crashes so far and that is the way i want to keep it.

Been driving since I was 17, now 36. Never had an accident. Average about 20k a year.

Goes to find some wood to touch just in case.

Go and read 10PS' prison diary thread, and then calm it down a bit.

Been driving for 17 years and never crashed or been crashed into.

Edit: Plenty of off-track excursions on track days but that's what they're for.

I haven't.... 26 now and over 200k miles under my belt....

Might be luck tho. as i,ve had a fair few scares! I guess the odd accident is normal and easy to happen it's people who have lots that you have to worry about I guess

25 now with 8 years no claims (goes to find wood...) was hit from behind while stationary last year though, but as it wasn't my fault it doesn't count right? hehe

You sound quite surprised, which is a little worrying. May until now is really not very long!

(19 years and three accidents, two other people driving into me whilst I was stationary and one minor 5mph one which was my fault)

editted to add: Crikey 19 years, I'm getting old, I've been driving for longer than I haven't.

Not me, 1 non-fault and 1 fault.

Ever since the fault accident I've been a different driver.

(1 year 7 months driving)

I also drive some nice cars from time to time as i am a mechanic so in the past i have driven a subaru imprezza, mg zt v6 lovely noise, golf gti and many more so it is incentive to not crash as it effects the garage insurance i am on

Passed my test 7 yeras ago and havnt binned it yet!

Nearly did in March though. hit a patch of ice, under steered then over steered sliding down the road looking down the bank thinking "f'ing hell youve done it this time"! With a lot of luck and not much skill I got out the slide and thats probably the only time ive properly been scared in a car, especially as I was only taking it easy at the time!
