Oh dear or dear.
How many car knocks/bumps/crashes have you been in? I did a very poor parking manouvre when I was 17, and scraped the side of my mum's car down a concrete column. Mum was a bit cross.

It was only a small wall though. And it got better.

and none for the last few years.
Not had a proper write-off crash. Probably the worst was when Bob's Minibus reversed into me when I was stationary at a traffic light. That wrote the car off, but only because it was a decade-old Fiat Uno.
I was quite cross with Bob.

All small ones. The last one was two weeks ago when someone's brakes failed and he ran into the back of my lovely little Mazda :(

But I am very bad at crossing the road. I've nearly been run over by Bill Oddie by the BBC in Bristol.

Mate was driving down country roads in the dark, and wasn't sure on where he was going. I said ''straight on here'' when we came to a little bend.
He decided straight on means ignore the slight curve and plough directly into a granite hedge.
Much ouchness ensued.

It's a granite wall that is covered in grass and trees etc. Look quite soft, but then there's granite.

someone crashed into my Mum's car at 40mph, side on at a junction.
I was sat on the side of the car to get hit.
I am convinced that if my Mum hadn't been driving the fattest, heaviest piece of shit Saab in the world I would be dead.

One when some twat was speeding on the wrong side of the road, I drove round a corner, saw headlights on my side of the road, swerved and bam. The clio looked like the delorean from BTTF.
Second time someone cut me up and scraped my front bumper.

as a woman drove straight onto the mini roundabout I was halfway round, forcing me to stop to avoid her hitting me - that's how late she was looking. It would have been a real mess, she was doing about 30mph and never even looked.
