Got license at 16, got plenty of tickets (most for speeding), but have only had 1 wreck that was my fault (and it came over 10 years later).  I did have 3 serious wrecks, 2 totalled my car through someone else's stupidity and 1 totalled my mother's car through somebody else's stupidity.

As for the 1 wreck that was my fault alone, I have no excuse...I was driving my Shadow ES (Turbo 2.5 - fun car!) and must have been distracted in some way - I ran square into the back of a big Mercedes (driven by a lawyer no less!) at about 45mph.  That hurt.  Knocked him into a then-new Intrepid.  I felt like quite a fool, luckily I had insurance and all involved were very nice about it.

Now, if you want to talk about other people running into ME, I could go on and on...  :^(
