I learnt how to drive in 2005, at driving school, after frequently taking my mother's car and introducing it to a few obstacles.

Serious Accidents: None at speed (like > 80km/h). I've had to replace headlamps/panelbeat bonnet/respray maybe 5 times in my life. Mostly bike men, poor guys. Once a bus' brakes failed and it ran into me. Wrecked the boot and cost like 40k to fix it (Peugeot 406).

NDE: I was really moving one day, trying to get to the airport on time, and one little girl came out of nowhere into the road. I was able to avoid her by going off road at that speed (around 140km/h) and back onto the road. The car fishtailed immediately it hit the road but that was it.

I don manage drive:

Audi 80
V Boot (1st car, inheritance. lol)
Peugeot 406
Peugeot 307
Peugeot 206
Sienna
Discussion Continues (current car)
Highlander
Matrix
Camry
C230
Corolla

12 uninteresting cars.
