Am I having car accidents too frequently...?

I recently had my third car accident, I rear ended someone, nothing much was damage but the paint on bumper.

I am 19 now and this is my 3rd accident in last 3 years. Is this too much? Am i a bad driver??

i have had 3 in the past three years but i found out that i just really wasnt payin attention i saw myself constantly changin radio stations or watchin other people as i drive by stuff like that your not a bad driver just try to pay attention and for some reason people who are 30-70 have never had any accidents have you notcied but yet records show traffic accidents are slowing down there arent as many compared to the amount of drivers dont let these people get you down jus try to pay a lil more attention

WANT THE TRUTH YES YOU ARE CONSIDERED A BAD DRIVE ACCORDING TO DMC IF YOU HAVE A LEAST A ACCIDENT A YEAR THEN YOU ARE CONSIDERED A NEGLAGENT DRIVER AND YOU ARE AT RISK OF LOOSEN YOUR LICENSE FOR A YEAR AS I KNOW I WAS IN THE SAME BOAT THERE AND THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME OK SO YOU NEED TO TAKE A COURSE AND LEARN HOW TO DRIVE MORE SAFELY AND BE MORE CAREFULL AND AWARE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON WHEN YOU GET BEHIND THAT WHEELE AND DRIVE HOPE THIS HELPS AS I WOULD HATE TO SEE YOU GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH WITH OUT A LICENSE FOR A YEAR ARE LONGGER THANKS....................

Thats WAY too many. Obvioulsy you are a bad driver, yes. You need to pay attention when driving or you'll kill someone.

I would say so YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm 65 and had NONE AND DROVE PROFESSIONALLY FOR 33 YRS.

I am glad I am not buying your insurance. Check out "the drivers edge dot com" either accident avoidance school or driver control school. Then get on to the Race track and learn what driving is all about at high speed.

I have 3 accidents in 42 years. The first, in 1967 I collide with a guy that ran a stop sign and then stopped. In 1975 a red light runner got me. I hit a truck in 1995. He stopped sideways across a lane on the highway believe it or not! I can't do much about those, but I still think that is too many, despite not being able to control the actions of others. I hate to say it, but you are the last person that can avoid the rear end collision.

Yes, that's way too many. If they are you rear-ending someone, you are following too close and not paying attention.

Since you asked, I never had an accident while driving until I was 45 years old.

I would say you better get a good job because if they where your fault your insurance is going to be listed as high risk. You will be paying more per month than I am paying for full coverage for a year. I have been driving for 35 years, and have no tickets, and no accidents that where deemed my fault. (Last one the dear got blamed but he wasn't around to contest it) Start paying more attention when you are driving, it will save you from paying allot more dollars in the future for insurance

you are sure an inattentive driver. If they were all 3 your fault, I'd say you need some retraining. Let me guess, each time you had the music up loud and friends in the car, right? I'm 51, I have never had an accident (on the street) while I was driving. I've been passenger in a lot of em though!!! I haven't had a ticket since I was 17. So, you be the judge about wether you have had too many accidents, and what you can do to improve your driving.

Do you drive in heavily populated area where there is a lot of traffic like New York City or Los Angeles? Sometimes people drive nuts in those areas. Don't beat yourself up or let these people deter you from becoming a good driver. Maybe you should take some lessons. That way you will build more confidence. Believe me I know.

That's a lot in the insurance companies point of view, and you'll be paying for it. Rear ending someone is the result of not paying attention, or following too closely. I wouldn't go so far as to call you a "bad" driver, it does sound like you might want to consider your driving habits though.


Starte Christ
It seems that you might be a little "bad" behind the wheel.
And, three accidents in 3 years is excessive.

Try to determine why you are having these accidents and then stop.

Most often, if you rear-end someone you are the cause.

I've been driving for 42 years. Never had an accident other than being rear ended myself twice. One time the lady wasn't paying attention. The other time the guy was following too close. Which one sounds like you? Or is it both.

yes, you are a bad driver. how did you pass the driving test? why don't you slow down, look at where you are going. learn how to judge distances between your car and anything else that is around you.
maybe you should practice with someone who knows how to drive and has been driving faaaarrrr longer than you have.


jimi c
please let me know when you are going to be on the road i'll call in sick ( p.s. were you on your cell phone)

Are you driving with your seat in the reclined position? This is about the dumbest thing I have seen. Put your seat up, look straight ahead and get your anterior out of your posterior!
