For some reason, I have had bad luck with cars. I have never broken a mirror, had a black cat cross my path, or carried a white lighter. I would like to think in almost all other aspects I am pretty lucky. In my lifetime, I have only been in three major accidents. Everyone has their little accidents such as a fender bender or ding of some sort, these accidents are on a whole other level. Personally, I think I am a good driver since I have never been in an accident where I was driving. These accidents were all taken place with someone else as a driver. The very first accident was with my grandma. My brother was sitting in the front seat while I was in back. The car was an old Lincoln Town Car. We were driving downtown Belleville and had a four way stop. My grandma stops and the car to the left of us must not have seen the huge white car. As my grandma gets halfway through the intersection, this car decides they want to go at the same time. The lady in the other car completely ran into the passenger side where my brother and I were sitting. The police and firefighters came and got us out. Luckily, in this accident, there were no injuries, but it was still a scary experience. My next accident happened on a warm February morning in 2015. It was like any other day, Peter and I ate some breakfast grabbed our stuff, then hit the road to make sure we made it to school on time. But on this day, we did not make it. I live on a back road, so you have to take the road I live on to another back road, then finally to the highway. We had a curve right at the end of the second back road before it …show more content…
But along with that, they have also caused me to have bad anxiety when I am riding with someone else. In a situation like that, the driver has full control of whether you are safe or not. To me, that is truly terrifying. I never take moments for granted since I realize how soon they can be taken
Statistics show the average person drives drunk (80) times before they get pulled over for DUI. You've got three. If that's the case, you did it (240) times, probably more,” said Rinfret. The other driver involved in the crash was hospitalized for nearly a week, during which time he was in an induced coma for a period because of swelling on the brain, according to victim advocate Andy Zedella.
Who has ever eluded the consequences for doing something wrong as a child, and thought, Wow, I’m so lucky I didn’t get caught? Or how about nearly breaking something while doing something thoughtless with friends that would’ve gotten them in trouble and thinking, We are really lucky that didn’t happen? Everyone has done something that they have evaded some sort of punishment and thought that karma was on their side that day. These are what one may call, “good luck.” But what about, “bad luck,” when you no longer have any?
We started descending down the hill at a rapid speed, fast and faster, going up and down over bumps. As we started going down I could feel myself almost standing because of the bar, great I could potentially die if I don 't follow the rules. Instead of just letting myself stand I forced myself in with my elbows in my hips and my hands on the bar pushing me down. When the ride stopped panic arose in my parents voices. “Morgan where are you !”
There were 15 of us from my church all squished into two vans. While I climbed into this big van I thought it was going to be so fun to drive up a mountain, see all the appealing scenery and have the thrill of almost feeling like we're going to fall. Well…. I was wrong. Every second there was a huge bump or pothole in the road so our heads were slamming against the side of the van.
(I’d just had the car maybe a month!). This guy had basically something off of Jurassic park on the front of his jeep. THANKFULLY it was on the passenger side so its just like a bad crick in the neck. But I really didn’t see him coming so I was pretty limber. He was flying... and there I was trying to take off taking a left turn.

Four lives. One crash. One mistake can change everything. In 2013 in Cutchogue, New York around 5 p.m. eight friends were traveling in a limo after a weekend trip. In the limo on the way home, a red pickup collided with the limo and splitting it almost in half instantly killing three of the women, and another dying later at the hospital.
When we pulled up to the dirt parking lot we saw my little brother, he was shirtless and waving his arms for us. My mom and I later found out the shirt was used to help control my dads bleeding from the accident. We trekked for over a mile to where my dad was. I prepared my self for the worst because so far we had no details on what had happened, just that it wasn 't good. My mom and I turned a corner on the trail, and saw him.
Thousands of people die each year from auto accidents. Many deaths caused by speeding leave families devastated. “Speeding accidents about as popular as drinking and driving accidents” (Boyles).

Though there are some reckless drivers, I trust my life while driving with those in their car than I trust other friends driving because they have experience in driving, they’re not distracted because they mostly drive standard cars which involves keeping your hands and feet bust with the steering wheel, the pedals and the stick shift. There is no time for being distracted on their phones for these drivers. Being a car enthusiast is fun and never gets old. Car enthusiasts have a bad reputation for being reckless drivers and I don’t blame them. Having a fast car is fun, but with great power, comes great responsibility.
