On or around Fri, 08 Oct 2004 05:52:38 GMT, "Alun P" enlightened us thusly:
mind, I've had 4 vehicle-damaging accidents[1] over my 21 years on the road, and only 1 of them was while I was in that age bracket. That was also the one where I was probably most to blame, mind.
One was in dodgy snow-slush conditions, 2 on narrow roads with blind corners, one of which was mostly not my fault (other driver going much too fast) and the other I regard the 50-50 insurance result as a fair cop - I could have in theory done more to avoid it and so could the other bloke.
[1] not counting the one that fell apart on the road and crashed as a result... didn't hit anything else though.
