  • I hit a traffic cone going 70 miles an hour at 10 at night when they were doing work on 93... with Rachel in the car (I'm pretty sure she's scared to drive with me now)
  • A massive pickup truck parked very poorly at the grocery store. I was tired and lazy and thought I could fit into the parking spot next to it, because I have a small car. I couldn't. The truck was fine. My headlight broke and I now have a massive scrape on my car.
  • A police officer was behind me. I was driving my mother's car, which I don't drive very often, so I was focusing very carefully on the road ahead, and neglected to look in my rear view mirror. He wanted to pull over the guy ahead of me. I didn't realize this. He put on his lights and I pulled over... onto a curb. He followed me home and waited to talk to my mom.
  • Several on-ramps onto the highway that were hairpin turns. I drove a little faster than I should have... oops.
  • My car was dirty (in addition to having a pretty large blind spot to begin with). I didn't see the car in the next lane and started to change lanes. Good thing I didn't hit them?
  • At a red light, I moved up a little and the woman behind me presumably assumed it was a green light and hit the back of my car. I got out, inspected my car, and drove away when the light turned green. I probably should have talked to her and such.
  • It was snowing, and my car does not do well in snow at all. I was breaking coming into a turn lane that they don't bother to plow until after the snow has stopped. My car didn't want to break. I turned into the next lane at the last second, but still accidentally scraped bumpers with my sister's Latin teacher from last year. That was awkward.
  • .. BUT OVERALL I'M NOT A BAD DRIVER. REALLY.
