Actually no. Only because its your property. Now if you drove into someone else's property, then you would count it.

Voted 2, but then remembered a 3rd one I had forgotten...

First - hit black ice patch driving in sleet coming off expressway, hit a concrete divider.
2nd - Hit in the rain by moron who wasn't paying attention and turned into me :|
3rd - Lightly rear ended by girl on the phone.


First was my fault, second two were not. I didn't include the time my car was destroyed in a parking lot. It was parked, and I was inside working at the time.

None. Just barely avoided one, though...opposing traffic made a left turn into the car in front of me. :confused:

I've been in 6. 2 of them were when my dad was driving and was rear-ended in both cases...not really the fault of the drivers because both cases were extremely abrupt stops.

I've been in 4 where I was driving. Only 1 of them was my fault...the other three were the piss poor drivers here in TN.

one - 1982 - fell asleep at the wheel, about 1:30 am - ran off the road into a telephone pole. on the other side of the pole was a pond, so hitting the pole was ok.

Iv been in 2 while I was driving and Im still only 16!!!! HA...
First one was my fault but it was a fender bender and the second one was a full on collision which wasn't my fault. Destroyed my car and left the girl in the other char with a broken neck. Luckly she is ok now. Thats what you get when you talk on the phone and drive...

First time driving in the snow, I was in a then unfamiliar part of town. I was on a poorly designed expressway exchange where there was an exit approximately a quarter of a mile after the two expressways merged. Both lanes of the expressway I merged from where exit only, but I thought just the right one was. When I realized this I went to brake (I was going ~40mph in the snow), and skidded right off the road and into a sign. Had to replace the door thanks to that.

Only one so far (I'm 20 and have had my license for almost two years). I was not at fault; was rear ended and my car was totalled.
