My last accident was caused by a ...

After my recent "incident" with a woman driver I've had a bit of a browse around and started to notice a trend ...


Anyway ... in your last accident with another car, what was the sex of the driver?

Re: My last accident was caused by a ...

I haven't had any accidents yet touch wood, but in the last few years my dad has had 3. He has been hit up the back twice by women. One was on the phone, the other just didn't see him stop.
The other accident was caused by a landrover pulling out in front of him and he smashed into the side of it. That was caused by a woman as well.

Accidents ...

Miss Audi - 2008
The Missus - 2007 (my car was stationary on the drive ... but obviously my fault)
Mrs Drive into the Side of Me - 1998

Obviously I'm a faultless driver ... we won't mention the accidents I had when I was a 18yo boy racer type (the hedge, the wall ...) ... and motorbike accidents don't count either ...

Re: My last accident was caused by a ...

I've been involved in 3 accidents none of them my fault



Accident 1 - A young male whose confidence far exceeded his driving abilities

Accident 2 - An old codger who drove into the side of me then asked me did I not see him?!

Accident 3 - Rear ended by - you guessed it..... a bloke

Polish lorry driver on M20 wrote off my lovely 156 (he hit it twice just to be sure).

This is a big problem in the SE.

Caused by errrrrr me

Young, not long passed test, showing off in my beloved pug 106, straight into the back of an escort van.

No damage to the van, new front end on the pug. Lesson learned.

Seems like the trend is for people to crash into members of the opposite sex..
