Whats Happening To TOC Yaris ?

[TheNissanMan]

Not doubting or questioning anyone's driving abilities here....

We all know through statistics crashes are most likely to occur at a younger age or closer to the time when you pass your test, unfortunately it's part of the learning circle...

I though it would be interestng with the number of crashes on the board with Yaris's to see what age groups the unlucky few fall into, wether the crashes were your fault or not....

See what stats we come back to ?

i crashed 2 weeks after passing my test when i was 19 that was in a 1l corsa only me and a kerb involved and £300 damage.

and so far (touch wood) none in my yaris

48 when I had mine last year. Age doesn't make any difference when someone drives into the back of you!

17 - inexperienced, slipped on some ice :(

Interesting one this... It might also be enlightening to know how many years after passing their test people crashed.

I've had 3 small(ish) crashes, all in my previous Yaris:-

1. Slid off the track (and nose first off a rocky 4 foot drop) on the way down from my parent's house at walking pace. Ice under snow - not my fault...

2. Went in to the back of the car in front (which had gone into the back of the car in front of it). I should have been paying more attention...

3. Bloke went into the back of me when I was stopped at a roundabout. He didn't leave enough braking distance in the snow. Not my fault as I was stationary and saw him coming.

They're scary at the time (especially the first one as I could see it coming and could do nothing), but they have made me a safer driver - especially with respect to the 2-second rule.

Cheers,

[knightrider]

none touch wood, and the majority of us yaris drivers are quite young on here,

[Stephen61]

18, Wet road tight bend, too much speed

Through a drystone wall and half the car into a field

I've learnt the hard way £500+ worth of damage, not so much as a scratch since though

[Ryan1985]

I've also not crashed yet touch wood, but have came close once or twice!

Cheers

[knightrider]

not emant at all like that, only chose the yaris as it seemed to have the most crashes and a popuilar car on the board...

can't remember all my crashes, luckily none in 3/4 years, had my license 8 years....

[Moffmo]

I must say tho, crashing does have benfits, im a much more careful driver now...:)

[knightrider]

think i need a crash then

with 32 mpg on a 1.0l

[chrisfitton]

My first crash was at 18 in a corsa came over crest of a hill doin 60 and there was burst water main n flood no time to stop hit it spun n rolled takin out electricity pylon that was rather scary good job council paid out for it.

second was in my old capri comedy car in wet but in snow **** lethal rooked it into a hedge at 10mph staright through hedge across field as was so icy.]

3rd was most recent where was in a volvo v40 i think 2.5 auto c**p thing (works one) and sittin at lights and a dumper truck rammed back pushing car down to ground.

[Moffmo]

When i meant more careful, i know to keep my distance away from cars in rain and stuff :D
