Crashes: Bumped into an Audi RS6 a few months after passing.
 
A:

3 day course, failed test and never retook.

B:
Did a course that lasted about 6 weeks. Passed 1st time. :p

1st Crash was 4 years later. Swerved after someone cut me up & lost the back end.

2nd. Rolled a Landrover 90 going a little to fast round a bend on a country track.

3rd Crash was about 5 years ago. Someone had left their car in the outside lane at a set of traffic lights. The driver infront of me thought he would be able to dive in to the left lane, but he didn't make it and I went into the back of him.


C:
Weeks course. Failed 1st test after clipping a kerb. Passed 2nd time.

I've clipped a couple of cars parked on corners in tight streets.

C+E:

Weeks Course. Passed 1st time.

No accidents.

H:

6 Week course (2 weeks actual driving)
Failed 1st time. Ran a red light, I wouldn't have been able to stop for it, but because I didn't preempt it I failed.

Passed 2nd time.


No RTAs, but trashed the odd tree and hit a few ditches. :p

bet that driver was chuffed with you :p


30hrs over a year, with 2 x 3month breaks

2 practical tests, 3 minors, then 7 on the pass
Shamefully 2 theory tests haha (1st 29,second 35 out of 36), revising on the bus on the way there for half hour isnt enough!! being cocky for the lose

first crash 5 years later
 
Car: 4 hours, 1 test, 5 minors, no crashes in 8 years.
Bike: 25 hours, 2 tests, 3 minors, no crashes in 3.5 years. First test was failed on observation during the U-turn, which was BS but not worth arguing.
 
from the states.

16 hours lesson, 50 hours driving "under supervision", passed on first test flawlessly, crashed in about 6 months being a stupid, overconfident kid.
 
22 hours driving in total ridiculously broken up due to exams + busy instructor etc. (all professional tuition as I didn't have a car I could drive elsewhere), passed 1st time with 11 minors (examiner was harsh tbh, I was a bit peeved with getting 11 minors but my instructor couldn't understand why I was annoyed at all as I'd passed :P), been driving for around a year now (I'm 18) and haven't crashed (yet).

I tend to drive a bit more carefully whenever i'm behind an Audi or BMW or Merc. I don't want to deal with that insurance claim. :D
