None so 0?

Been driving since 1978, had one "at fault" accident when I was 19 - all the others were other people deciding to re-arrange the look of my cars, including a truck side swiping my then 2 week old Saab while it was parked at a client! - thank God for witnsses!!

So mine would be - 16

Define accident.

I have had no accidents involving other cars but a few hits with walls in the office car park. That was my fault but would it count against me....

 

[neilrr]

It's never my fault.

20 years, no accidents, no points.

Its a miracle - there must be a god!

If you claimed on your insurance, then unfortunately, yes.
If you footed the repair bill yourself, then no.

36yrs / 550,000mls no at blame accidents = 36

Ha! Beat you by one(37). And and additional 500k miles.

6 points though, 2 speeding incidents, both years ago. That is one per 6 years / 166k miles.

I now expect to crash or get done for speeding having said that......

Oh in that case i've had only 1 accident and it wasn't my fault!

 

[EDZ649]

I've never had an accident but seen loads in my rear view mirror

 

[Easty]

Passed my test in 1962, since then 1 accident my fault, 3 points added 20 years ago for speeding and must have driven 500,000+ miles in 12 cars

 

[rizzer]

Been driving and riding motorbikes for 32 years, only had 1 "my fault" accident and that was in my fathers car, whoops, black ice ended up in ditch then hitting tree. So my number is 32!

Haha!

Did you cause them?


LOL

(loving the SL600, by the way ).

For me, no blameworthy accidents.

14.

 

[w124nut]

50! For interest's sake, I would like to know what date in 1960 I passed my test. Does anyone know if the DVLA keeps info such as this?

 

[fuzzer]

all this thread points out to me is that there a lot of old people on here

 

[Wizeng]

A lot of old, safe drivers! 49 years of driving 1 at fault accident.

 

[DITTRICH]

w124 212-170=42k
w202 149-016=133k
total=175k
years=12.33
at fault=1
points=0

11 years of driving (since I was 14)... no clue how many miles, but on the W202 I've added 100K, the Z3 about 30K and the voyager about 80k...

1 accident where I was found to be at fault (rear ended a guy... totally my fault!)

So does that make me an 11? If so, the system is screwy I'm constantly involved in accidents (where I'm a passenger most of the time... sometimes when I'm outside the car) so my safety factor should be in the nengatives
