Have you ever had a fender bender?

Question

If so, explain what happened.

Answer 1

Yikes I've been in a few. Some of the more exciting are.
I hit a barn once, drove into a lake, jack knifed the boat, I hit blockbuster. Oh and I hit the light pole that was on top of the bleachers at my high schools football field. (No idea how my car got on top of the bleachers though)
Haven't been in an accident for two years. I'm responsible now!

Answer 2

Funny! LOL. Yes, we were involved in a fender bender last year. And as the result, the jarring affected a nerve my back and hip that now has me in a state where I can't stand for long or walk far without pain that exhausts me. And to beat all, the woman who rear ended us, took off and got out of sight before we could even see her license plate. We figured she may have either been driving without insurance/license, or she was afraid of something. Maybe she'd had a few accidents already and was afraid of losing her license. Luckily we have a mini van, rather than a compact or I'd have really been hurt worse. She broke off our back bumper and it was barely hanging on when we got home. My husband saw her through his rear view mirror, and she was on her cell phone while driving and he thought she had kids in back. I sure didn't need another body ailment to keep me from being active. But life takes some bad turns and we have to live with them unfor- tunately.

Answer 3

I was doing 80mph in a 30mph zone, downhill, on a road that was drying from wet. Parked cars on both sides. Heading down to a left-right flick followed 150ft later by a stop sign. Just get to the left flick, only to find some idiot reversing back around a blind corner. Had to make a choice between full rear-ender, taking a chance on nothing coming the other way and going wide around him, or trying to just miss him. Went for the 3rd option but misjudged it by an inch. He ended up with a rear wheel in the trunk, I broke the front suspension (both sides), the engine mountings, both driveshafts and 3 of 4 steel wheels, plus the steering column. The front of the car was untouched, just a little dent in one front wheel arch, as I'd hit him with the front wheel! The engine ended up against the front bulkhead...I was very lucky to get out untouched. It was my 6th accident in 5 months after passing my test, and I calmed down A LOT after that. The other driver got a bigger fine than I did when it went to court (he didn't bank on THAT when he called the police)!

Answer 4

Yes. I have been in several.
1. We were rear - ended by a truck without brakes - hit the camper we were towing.
2. I rear-ended someone when I dropped my cigarette on the floor, scooted my seat back (at a stoplight) to get it and my foot slipped off of the brake - no damage to either vehicle.
3. Got hit by a drunk driver - dislocated both hips and my shoulder. His vehicle was totaled - mine was a truck and needed a few side panels and a new muffler.
4. Hit someone head on when I hit my brakes, and they pulled me straight into oncoming traffic.

I have not had an accident since 1995 - knocking on wood.

I am an insurance agent now, and I am a lot more cautious.

Answer 5

My bf and I were leaving our Vancouver apartment and this guy was doing 30 down the back ally as we were pulling up to see if any cars were there he rammed the passenger side front.
Not fun.
Made me over an hour late for my appointment, wouldn't give his insurance info or anything...just horrible horrible situation. Poor car is still damaged...my dad is willing to fix it but he needs jobs that will pay so I don't want to make him do it...

Anyway, so the guy harrassed us for 2 month and then we moved...I wonder if he still calls that number...haha. He was a psycho and he didn't speak english very well...He's lucky I didn't punch him in the face. He was RUDE.

My bf is Canadian but has residency in the states so his license is American and he was all "what are you doing here go home blah blah"

that dude was clearly NOT Canadian...so he needs to go home and learn how to drive!!!!

errr some people.

Answer 6

About 4 on different occasions. 3- a deer ran into me and 1- I hit an already dead brown bear that someone had left in the road after hitting it!

Answer 7

Yes. This dummy decided to take a left hand turn from the far right hand lane -- she scrapped the entire front of my car while doing it.

Answer 9

More than one. In the most current, I had a kid rear-end me when I was stopped at a stop light. I was pissed until he started crying because he was afraid of what his mom was going to do when she found out.
