Have you had any vehicular mishaps?
Omg gurlz, I was driving in traffic today (small town traffic, not big city traffic) and on my cell phone, and next thing you know I hit this busted up minivan in front of me.  Luckily, the dude in the car was on his cell phone too, and didn't seem to care. I quickly took a right though and got out the situation, checked to see if my car had any scars, and it didn't. Lawd have mercy, I have been awakened to the troubles of distracted driving. However, other than that, my driving record is spotless.
SO. Have you ever been pulled over or ticketed? Have you ever been in a wreck and what were the causes/results of that wreck. Are you a safe driver? Let's chat.

When I was 5, I flipped my grandparents' friend's van. I wasn't hurt and I don't think the van was either.
When I was 12, I called myself taking my cousin's car while she was sleeping and driving down to Wawa for a hoagie at two in the morning. So I back the car up and the **** shuts off and lurches forward. Do you know I hit a metal bumper on the back of someone's truck, denting the hood of my cousin's hood? I rushed back in the house to tell her "someone messed your car up." The cops came, no one pressed charges, but since that happened one of the cops slapped me with underage driving and I got a $500 fine. I'm thinking I got away scotfree, but the cop said no ma'am, here's your citation.

Hit and run. Wow. Whether or not there was damage on YOUR car, you have to stop and call the police.
Even if the other car isn't damaged, it's still considered "leaving the scene of an accident." You got more than your driving record to worry about - if you're caught, your criminal record will not be spotless.

No, like I sat there in the traffic for a bit longer, but like my momma raised me better than to be a dumbass and get out of my car and say "Hey gurl, I hit you," so when the guy didn't get out of the van, I just felt like that was God's way of saying, get the **** out of here now. Plus I am 16, just in case the guy changed his mind, I am not about to make my parents pay for anything.

 Omg! I was always sooo scared to drive underaged. I couldn't do it. And thank the lord I haven't gotten in trouble with the cops either. Has the underaged driving citation affected you any now?

LAWD... I have too many stories from high school when I thought my **** was hot.
I got ticketed twice for speeding and once for running a red light
I have been in at least 10 fender-benders where neither car was damaged (most of those were NOT my fault though)
And I was in one bad accident where I hit another car and ended up totaling my car (that was a result of the red light incident above  )

No real accident, but once I forgot to put the hand brake on and the car rolled down a hill, across a busy road, through a fence and onto a field. I had to pay for the damage, pay a fine and attend this road safety course thing. Nobody was hurt, which is the main thing I guess.

In summer of last year, my godfather thought it was the perfect time to teach me how to drive.
I was a bit scared, cuz I knew it would probably end in disaster (Knowing myself and all).
So he started yelling at me to hit the accelerator, and I was like "NO!  " and so he kept telling me to, and then he yelled again, I floored it, and we hit a tree.

Yes. Someone hit the back of my car. My stomach smashed into the driving wheel and I got a little dizzy, but thankfully, I everything else was fine.

Oh my god! I used to use the hand brake all the time, even when I was on like flat ass surfaces, but now I never use it. I should though, hahah. But that's really scary!
I also have a really bad habit of not wearing my seat belt anymore, and I go soo fast. It's crazy. I used to be such a good driver when I first got my license, I don't know what happened.
