    Have you ever been involved in a traffic accident? I, myself have been involved in a few minor ones and two major ones. Must be bad drivers here in the UK...

    Luckily, no, I have not - I'm sorry to hear about your experience(s), however.

    Once on bike. [****][****][****][****][****][****][****] didn't look when he turned right and I went straight forward. Didn't get hurt though.

    Yes, I have:

    .
    .

    There were four of us in the Jeep. We were [****][****][****][****]ing around having a "war" with some idiots in their truck and another group of "our team" in another Jeep (three vehicles). We were throwing various crap at each other, cutting them off, literally running them off the road, etc. At one point we were going 70 MPH approaching a close to 90 degree turn, completely parallel to the "enemy" (they were on one side of the road and we were on the wrong side of the yellow line). Right before we went around the turn I threw an open water bottle of my own piss at them (good thing I was able to get rid of that first). They went through the turn first, then us, then our friends in the other Jeep behind us.

    Well, they slowed down a little - we didn't. We would have be fine had their not been a car coming in the other lane (we needed this lane to make the turn going that fast, lol). To avoid creaming this car (who happened to be an off-duty cop), the driver of the Jeep had to attempt to stop and swerve. For some reason the ABS decided to not work. So we continued to swerve at 70 miles and hour, all four windows open, no seat belts on at all, until we did a complete 180. The left-side tires on the Jeep hit the curb (the curb that would normally be to the right of the car - we were backwards) and we literally flipped. Our friends behind us said we caught a lot of air before slamming the tree and coming to a stop (which is said to have saved us from continuing to flip/scrape across the ground/end up in some guy's living room).

    Somehow we all got right out with not even a single scratch. Nothing at all. The police even gave me permission to crawl back into that Jeep to look for the iPhone I bought about an hour earlier. Don't worry, the box was all torn up but the iPhone still worked! And later a friend brought me my hat that he said he found about 100 feet away.

    It was fun, but I'd say the other people won that battle.

    I was in an accident last year with my friends, my friends mom was driving the 3 of us home. On the way down a lane she lost control of her new range rover, we went in to a ditch at about 40MPH and landed on the left side. Luckily no one was hurt, drivers airbag deployed (Christ there loud) but the passengers did not. My friends mom was more worried about calling her husband and telling him she had wrecked there new car rather than if us kids were ok.

    I was also on the British Airways plane crash Flight 38 I think, Crashed short of the runway at Heathrow airport coming back from China. Didn't even know it was a crash until bits of the plane starting falling apart inside the plane and when we got outside.

    Yup I rolled my Jeep. All the way over. It was totally crunched on top down. I crawled out of the car and walked home. I was about a mile and half away from my house. Just ended up with a big bruise behind my ear.
