My first crash was in my college car park. It was raining at the time and I had two arse holes on peds sat right on mine arse. I went a bit quicker to try and make some space but then had to slow for a speedbump. One of the ped drivers then came flying up behind me and slid into the back of me. Only very minor damage luckily, just had to have the rear bumper resprayed. Needless to say I went completely mental at the lad
I had 4 crashes in my first year of driving though  Three people have gone into the back of me and one was my fault as I crashed into someones car in the work carpark....oops. Touch wood thats the last of my crashes.

took a chicane as fast as a 1.2 nova with a 1.6 head could go (just over 100!) , back end came out, opposite lock, then the other way, then back, then back again, then into a grass bank at about 50 and flipped it right over and back onto its wheels, pulled the windscreen out and drove it home! was too scared about losing my no claims lmao! kept it in my garden for ages, bought a nova saloon XE then swapped all the best bits i could lol. was a lucky one to be fair, drivers end pillar was the only one still in tact

Ive only ever had one crash. My first car was a trusty saxo that ended up in pieces over a massive distance  Went round a corner in the wet behind my mate. Took the same line as him round the corner, he went round fine whereas my back end stepped out. I tried to correct it but it spun the other way spinning me round 2/3 times at which point i slammed sideways into a curb which flipped the car onto its side. It then slammed into a mud bank which flung the car into in air. So the cars now still rolling over whilst spinning from the impact off the bank. It bounced back onto the road and rolled a couple of times and then landed on its side. The car was smashed to pieces. Every panel was ruined, wheels were all at right angles, suspension had burst and springs popped out, rear beam was bent, boot was in half, rear seats were snapped, bumpers were in pieces, bonnet was smashed, all the windows smashed, front seats had bent on the mounts, lights were all smashed, the only thing left was the airbag which didnt go off I was pretty lucky to walk away from it but it taught me a good lesson to not be a nob

My first crash was about 2 year ago in my 1.2 corsa ls, went around a corner a bit too quick in the wet when the back end slid out, tried to correct it but just sent the car in a spin, i bounced up a curb and slid about 200 yards until i hit a tree and ripped it out the ground, every one was ok but i was gutted...... car went to the scrapyard with spax coilovers on

Made excuses at the time but it was nobody's fault but my own.
Done the same myself

First crash was just a year ago on the 26th of may.
Having a spirited drive home from EK in my mk4 Gsi. Sending it on around a b road. simple fact of going round a corner too fast with absolute fucked shocks.
The bump in the middle of the corner fucked me up for the exit and tyhe back end just bounced and skipped round. Ended up sideways for about 100 yards befor putting it into a field at 115, the front end dug in, done a front flip and rolled 4 times before finally resting on its roof.
God i regret smashing that car

I had some kid drive into back of me on moped, was driving up my arse as approcahed traffic light, he then thought "here chance to over take and get to front of waiting traffic" as went slid over and hit back bumper, I lost it and got out the car and went mental at the lad.
Turns out when he took his helmet of was o nly 16, and very shky felt quite bad at that point, his unlce worked at bodyshop so got bmper and some extras repsrayed and tha was that

My only crash driving was around 10mph. Set off and hit an Audi A3 that was illegally parked (practically brand new). £4500 damage to the Audi, I T-cutted mine out. 
Put my insurance premiums down by £10. Win.

4 and half years ago i was going to work in the morning,i was pulling out of a side street with lots of cars on eather side of the road. But when i edged out pulled out in front of a guy who was speeding so i got partial blame for pulling out. I was stoped when he hit me though. Spun the car round on the spot.
the guy who hit me

Sunday night she looked like this.
Monday morning on the way to Uni she looked like this.
I wasn't paying full attention, but I rear ended someone as there was a line of traffic where there was never a line of traffic before. Live and learn.
Was 2 years into licence, but had only been driving for about 6 months from when I started Uni.
My next years insurance went down.

I crashed 6 months after passing my test. My car was lowered and the kit lowered it too much at the front knocking the brake bias out.
The crash was entirely my fault, I braked late in to a 30 from a 60 and the back end swung around, mainly due to the drop at the front.
The crash could have been avoided had I slowed down sooner. The car was stupidly low at the front, whci didn't help and I should have sorted that.
