That way, you can have the detailed version of the story, and pursue the matter with a better grasp on things. Take care!<br /><br /><a href="http://hofmannlawoffices.com/" rel="nofollow">Ann Taylor @ Hofmann Law Office</a>Ann Taylornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-49452504179061351282014-04-24T22:44:51.485+10:002014-04-24T22:44:51.485+10:00I know

Poor Andy's friend, though; the car must not have been his. At<br /> least this vivid remembrance of the accident must have made you "super<br /> careful".

Even though I probably would admit being at fault straight away! :D My first accident was while getting out of the driveway too...but embarassingly, I wasn't reversing. I was driving straight out and attempting to turn right but because of being vertically challenged and unable to see due to cars parked, I ran into another car. I'd previously blogged about it so I'm wondering how to 'freshen' it up for the prompt! :)Psych Babblerhttp://overacuppacoffee.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-12398454230005454632014-02-24T15:08:22.050+11:002014-02-24T15:08:22.050+11:00Wow.

A terrific rite of passage. But mine was into the back of a very expensive BMW belonging to a student at UWA. When I tried to swap information he assured me that wouldn't be necessary and left rather hurriedly.

Otherwise what explanation beyond sheer brazen rudeness sees a woman back into the front of your car while you're sitting in it, hop out for a look and say nothing to you. Surely you can say sorry/ are you ok to the person sitting in the car you just hit if the whole thing has just been witnessed, nay, experienced by them?TwitchyCornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-1464221902244949192014-02-24T12:07:45.156+11:002014-02-24T12:07:45.156+11:00As for other #MyFirst topics... childhood embarras...As for other #MyFirst topics... childhood embarrassment, concert, celebrity crush, phobia, security item (teddy, blanket), hobby, moment of realisation that you were never going to be the next Kylie (sob)...Emilyhttp://emhawker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-37302160046062855072014-02-24T12:04:20.783+11:002014-02-24T12:04:20.783+11:00Oh man, driving tests.

While I don't have a reverse camera, I DO have reverse sensors and they were going off one day but I assumed they were alerting me to the guy in the green souped up Commodore going over speed bumps at 0.05km/hr on an angle (you know the type) to my left so as soon as I could see he was finally out of my way I started backing out of a park ... straight into a little old lady in her jellybean car, complete with disabled sticker and all :(Chelsea Sutherlandhttps://148percent.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-2092804862528106452014-02-24T09:58:40.578+11:002014-02-24T09:58:40.578+11:00I was on my L plates having a lesson with an instr...I was on my L plates having a lesson with an instructor. I was waiting in the middle of one of those intersection thingies where there's a spot to rest while waiting for traffic to pass (I am crap at describing things) and doing everything the instructor told me. I am so lucky my instructor was worth my money because he told me that while I was learning I should have my handbrake on while waiting in the middle of four lanes (dual carriageway) in case someone tried to wait in the middle with me (which is illegal as there is only room for one vehicle) and smashed me into oncoming traffic. Well, someone shoved themselves into me, right after I applied the handbrake, didn't they. I was not far off going for my test and I think the incident shook me a little more than I admitted. I was very lucky, though - thanks instructor man!! The car had to go in for smash repairs (luckily not my car but sadly it was the poor instructor's) and we weren't injured. My instructor drove me home and I then had to continue my lessons in my own car which was a lovely little Nissan Pulsar but had no powered steering. I may have failed my first test because I went for it in the middle of my schoolies week, but that's another story haha.KezUnpreparedhttp://awesomelyunprepared.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-51704743356560097362014-02-24T09:08:17.508+11:002014-02-24T09:08:17.508+11:00I was only 4 or 5 when I was in my first car accid...I was only 4 or 5 when I was in my first car accident — nothing serious — at least I didn't think so at the time — years later I discovered the truth, and it made me revisit the accident with fresh eyes: http://johnanthonyjames.com/post/77631588457/my-first-car-accident#.Uwpt7vmSySoJohn Jameshttp://johnanthonyjames.com/noreply@blogger.com
