Osiris Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Hey fellow peoples, Just had my first fender bender couple hours ago, stupid stupid mistake on my behalf, no one was injured, my cars fine, just some very noticably scratching on the rear of the other vechicle. Gotta say kinda shook me up but. Its just a fender bender, (was in a busy carpark but) I have insurance, but for a lil while there I felt like the sky was falling. Just wondering if any other neowinians have been momentarily stupid and has a bingle. So feel free to share your experiences, or ridicule my now tarnished driving record, and confidence. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Was just stupid im more ****ed off at myself for such a blatent lapse of intelligence, just trying to normally park in a carpak bay, and yeah was a bit tight, but yeah was busy, I got nervous tried to rush it and as a result went near straight into the back of a parked car. Im more aggitated at how stupid it was, like good no one was hurt and my car is fine and we both have the same insurance company, but just thinking of it again in my mind it just seems so dumb. After we exchanged details I started to get massive stressed out, im kinda dissapointed at that, the women and her husband could have been pricks, they were peeved but civil about it, still I started to freak out a bit. Im fine now, live and learn I guess. so move on and hope the excess doesnt cost me too much I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Whats a fender, that American for bumper. Anyone touches my colour coded bumpers ill kill'em :angry: The term "fender" is also used for bumpers but it also includes the front and back side panels on your car. Not the doors though... Technically its only those side panels that are "fenders"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ryan Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Just wondering if any other neowinians have been momentarily stupid and had a bingle. So feel free to share your experiences. :) There was this one evening I was out driving around with some friends. One of my friends was pregnant. As we were coming back home I had to stop suddenly because a guy in front of me decides to make a quick sudden turn without using his turn signal. I didn't run into anyone, but someone behind me ran into the back of me. I got a nice dent in my bumper and it has the appearance of falling off at any time, but by looks it still seems sturdy and strong. As I got out to investigate I discovered the other guy was obviously drunk. He was all worried and panicking. But luckily my pregnant friend was okay. But my other buddy wanted to beat the drunken guy's ass. His car was all right though. Our little collisions weren't too bad my pregnant friend and her baby were okay so we just went our seperate ways and continued on our way back home.

MackDiesel2010 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I was the middle car in a three way fender bender. Coming from school, traffic was stopping for a bus. I stopped suddenly for a car in front of me who stopped pretty fast for no reason. At that time I didn't hit him, although I was only about 1.5 feet from his bumper. Anyway, a girl behind me in a ford explorer crashed into me, which in turn pushed me into the car in front of me. The car in front of me got its trunk pushed 2 inches into the rest of the car, totaling it :D, and, since I had the tailgate of my '85 dodge ram down, The girl behind me had her grill and row of headlights totally destroyed! :D. My front fender has rubber bumbers on it, so no damage there, and the tailgate was only slightly bent! Haha. Anyway, I got a ticket for "following too close," but no matter, since the girl in the explorer had to pay for both me and the guy in front of me :D, and the estimate to fix my tailgate was more than I bought the truck for, and get this - I used a sledge hammer to fix the tailgate! Free truck, and a good laugh. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
