Cars"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Chain collisionsI passed my test first time. Which is as good an indicator as any that the number of attempts taken is zero indicator of driving ability.
One day I took the family car for a drive to Norwich with some friends, a trip of about an hour each way. The journey out was uneventful. When I came to leave I managed to manoeuvre the car into a pillar and dented the boot.
Shortly afterwards I tried to get through too small a gap in the traffic and tore off both wing mirrors.
Shortly after that I stopped to inspect the damage, and whilst manoeuvring to get back on the road I hit a bollard and dented the bonnet.
I'm a lot better driver now than I was. But after that, frankly, I'm amazed my parents ever let me near a car again for long enough to improve.
