New car, new driver, first BAD scratch

[George1994]

So, I passed my test over 2 yeara ago. Haven't touched a car since. I'm from the UK so I drive a manual, these take a while to get used to, the bite of the clutch and the general feel of the car. In a multi story car park, paying too much attention to behind me, had the music too loud, and caugh a pillar... Badly.



Check out that bad boy! Very upset Luckily, I can get it fixed cheap, even better though, I have learnt two lessons. Remember the car swings out when reversing round a corner, and keep the music down!

Failure is probably the strongest learning experience. I am glad your education only involved a damage vehicle. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, thank god no one was hurt or I didn't hit another car. The damage will be fixed, my ego has taken a slight hit, but will recover haha! Lesson has been well and truly learnt in this case.

Hoefully, you didnt pay too much for the car. I remember my first car took a beating and a half...

£1100 for the car. Dad is a crash repair estimator for a garage so gets parts dirt cheap so the job to fix it is cheap too.

That's perfect!

To be honest, my first accident was from my sound system being waay too loud too. I didnt hear an ambulance crossing the intersection (which is why all the traffic was stopped) and hit a car in front of me... It wasn't a big accident but I definitely learned. Lol. Be careful out there.
