I don't post much and I am pretty sure this is my first rant!
In the past 3 weeks I have had two non fault car accident's.
I have only owned this car since October 2016.
The first accident was on a dual carriage way and a taxi driver assumed I was going to enter the roundabout, however it was unsafe to do so.
He then plowed into the back of me causing my rear bumper to crack and break the parking sensors.
To top that off on Tuesday my car was parked in the office car park and a lady has swiped my front bumper causing the bumper to break and obvious paint damages.
how she hit a parked car I do not know...
I am having bad luck with this car... and its making me so mad its happened in such a short space of time!!
People seriously need to be more careful and pay more attention when driving.
Rant over.

It has nothing to do with the car, it's people.
In my life i have been in 3 accidents and only one was my fault. The other two were by people distracted driving.
People today are always in a rush to get everywhere and do not drive safely. I have had people pull up to a stop sign and literally look right at me and cut out in front me of causing me to stop short.
It happens all the time...

Couldn't agree more. A buddy of mine could have been killed when he got T-boned. Some idiot ran a red going 50+ mph and hit the rear drivers side door of my friends car. Luckily, he only suffered minor cuts and bruises.

It really scares me to death with I see elderly people driving. Most of the time they're not sure what they're doing. They shouldn't be on the road for safety reasons. Feel bad for you.

I know everyone that reads this will probably hate me after this, but I drive a BMW... so I feel as if I just gotta live up to the name of driving like an ***hole, I'm not a terrible driver.. just the normal bmw driver you'd see. I use my blinker at least lmao.
I haven't hit anyone or anything, been pulled over twice though for going double the speed limit, but no tickets.. was let go on both. Just the beamer lifestyle, everyone will hate me after this bhahaha

As a cyclist I fear getting hit, and am almost hit just about everyday. Its usually complete idiots who underestimated the speed of a bike powered by a 210lb man.
Getting a license should be 100x harder than it currently is. We have signs in our area that are specifically indicating no turn on red and ive never seen anyone actually obey that light. Its sad.. sometimes I wish I was a cop.

Thankfully in my time driving myself I have never had an accident.
When I was much younger I'd been in 3.
Two of them being minor, but caused enough damage to make the car not being possible to drive.
The third was the last one and the worst one. A drunk driver went straight into the back of the car. Ever since then (7 years later) I have a seriously bad bad, seen more than five physios and no therapy has helped me. May have to have an operation in the near future.
The amount of bad drivers on the road is ridiculous. But what can you do.
Kieran,

Kieran,
Sorry to hear, hopefully with time it may get better.
Physio is the best option but theres only so much it can do.
its sad to see other bad drivers effecting peoples lives
