Who HAS crashed since their test.
Discussion
Wrote off a saxo after 3 years of driving, wasn't watching ahead and car in front stopped. My own stupid fault, instant write off of my car, not a scratch on their X reg Corsa.
Did the same thing again at a roundabout where the car in front pulled off & then stopped in the middle of the road. Luckerly £150 cash and the guy was happy enough with it. Still felt he was a pilloc for changing his mind, he had more then enough room for us both to pull out.

Hmm lets see
Nothing from the age of 19 until i turned 43, then as i approached a roundabout, a mazda rx 8 pulled out onto the roundabout, i checked to see if there was anything coming, started to move, looked up just in nice time to witness the front of my car crumpling the rear of hers. Why she stopped on the roundabout i dont know, but she did. Me? I scored a direct hit

Yep, 11 days after passing....problem was thinking i was invincible, those 11 days were absolutely flat out! Prob wasn't helped by having done basic karting since i was 12 and being used to bouncing off obstacles yet keeping going, and also my driving examiner proclaiming it was the best driving he'd seen all yr (this was said in sept)! lol
...oh yeah, the result ended up with a nova sr destroying a large proportion of a cemetary wall, along with most of itself!
Learnt the lesson though, 12 yrs have passed and its my only fault accident.

Had three fault accidents within 2 years after passing my driving test.
First two were rear ending into the car in front, the third I wasn't looking at a roundabout & collided into the passenger door of a brand new fiesta, whoops.
Then five years later I wrote off my Volvo 480 into a bridge wall whilst speeding round a bend.

Aye, passed in 2001 and wrote of 2.
1. Mini (proper one, not a BMW). Crossing a main road, you are allowed to go one way accross it but not the other way. Everyone used to do both so i started to go accross, then my cousin started shouting and before i knew it from behind the tall grass i saw a Mk3 Astra, crunching metal and horrible noises. Another few feet forward and the Astra would have hit my passanger door probably killing my cousin. As it was we were both ok and no one was injured, got a 6 month ban though
2. Head on down some small country lanes, Cavalier GSi and me in a Toyota Starlet, wrote both off. 4 rugby players from Bristol got out of the Cavy, hooj blokes they were, made me sign a bit of paper saying it was MY fault. Insurance said that it didnt mean anything and it was a 50/50 accident.
That's it, touch wood........

Couple of minor offs, 1st was in my bosses Rover 216 that I managed to rear end a lorry with, he later admitted the speedo was faulty so maybe it wasn't all my fault. 2nd was in my Opel Kadett which I span & seconds later 3 cars came the other way - that taught me a valuable lesson. 3rd was probably not my fault but as a 19yr old I was intimidated into accepting liability for a minor incident with a Brummie taxi driver. I also managed to lose the works Ital Estate (yes, lovely car!) with 6 mates on board + me, drifted it over a kerb & across some poor sods front garden stopping just short of their front window - managed to drive off & park the car around the corner before abandoning it as the suspension was bent!
