How many times has your vehicle been involved in an accident?

**chain** · October 25th, 2007 01:43 AM

I'm just curious about this. My vehicle, which has been with me for around 4 years, has been involved in 3 accidents already (not counting the minor dents, scars and scratches accumulated sa everyday use). to differentiate those 3 accidents from the 'minor' ones, this means nagka-police report yun and it involved significant bodywork.

thankfully, buhay pa naman ako pero 3 times na akong binangga in a span of 4 years. i'm afraid my luck wouldn't stretch to a 4th time on the same vehicle.

I'm not superstitious or anything but I'm starting to think na malas ata 'yung kotse ko. heck, I'm even contemplating of selling it and getting a new one na lang.

so how many times na kayo na-involve in an accident on your daily primary vehicle? take note: same vehicle.

my current car (Lan Pizza) has only been in a minor accident once. may nag cut lang sa akin na scooter kaya tumama sya sa lower bumper ko.

my previous car (Lan Singkit) has been with one major accident wherein a jeep used me as his brakes in an intersection.

my first car (VW Beetle) has also been with one major accident, wherein also, a jeep lost control and rammed me head on.

my cars in between have not figured in accidents (a Lan Itlog, a Lan Boxtype)

my first and only accident so far (and i hope it stays at this count) happened when my car was about 3 months old pa lang :sad: and that was more than 3 years ago. Involved was a tricycle who suddenly cut my way. Nag-counterflow sya kaso he realized na di sya pagbibigyan nung kasalubong nyang truck, so nag-cut na lang sya in front of me. And it so happened na tapat ng police outpost nangyari! Had to replace fender. I'm not sure though if hinabol pa ng insurance yung tricycle driver.

Twice pa lang...

Incident #1. I ran over a tire that went over the bed of a delivery truck. My front left tire cracked due to the impact (and MMDA hagad assisted me to change my tire) and I needed an alignment.

Incident #2. A Honda Accord (with plates MLR 333) bumped my right rear bumper while in the middle of traffic. The damage to his Accord is big: bumper, grille, headlight were all damaged and misaligned. The damage costed me P7,000. The driver only paid P2,500 and did not any more return to pay for the rest of the damage. The owner (a Doctor from St. Luke's) also refused to pay for the damage.

So far wala pang accidents, minor nor major. less than 3 months old and nasa 6900Km pa lang ang odometer.

thanks for your replies tsikoteers.

based on some of the posts, why am I getting this sinking feeling na mas madalas ata frequency ng trafic incidents ko wherein binabangga ako?
