LOL some pretty good stories here.
Most of my incidents (or near misses) were in my first car which was an xf falcon.
Lesson one: Try not to get too into the music you are listening too.
Driving down an old barely used road down south in WA singing away to the doors doing about 100kph. I started really belting out the tunes and getting right into it (I had driven the road plenty of times before so was probably a bit too relaxed). Anyway its a skinny road and I caught the edge of the gravel. Did a full 360 turn and ended up facing in the exact way I was driving in the middle of the lane. Trees on both sides of the road.....lucky as
Lesson two - not a good idea to try and drift an old falcon around a residential corner at 2am on the way home from a gig.
Pretty self explanatry, friends in the car, trying to do something a bit fun, took a corner (about 1km from my house) too fast. Went up the curb, accross the lawn and into the front fence. Made me look and feel like a tool.
I'm a much more conservative driver now. I drove for 12months with 1 point left on my license, so I learnt to drive inconspicously.
