I wasn't expecting this many responses, and interesting ones too.
Although I usually drive carefully and haven't been involved in any accidents (not even minor ones) yet, I did have a few close calls and most of them happened back when I recently got my driver's license and was still a naive driver. Once I was stopping at a T-junction and it seemed both sides were clear, but thanks to the trees on the sides obstructing my view, I failed to notice a Ford Focus fast approaching as I turned left, and soon I heard the Focus braking and honking at me. A similar incident happened when I was at an intersection turning right and got honked at for not noticing that at the same time, a car from the opposite direction was turning left into the same road I was entering. Finally, I once nearly rear ended a Volvo when traffic on the highway suddenly slowed down, and it didn't help I was distracted talking to my brother who was sitting on the passenger seat, but fortunately I was able to react quickly by slamming the brakes on time. Ever since those near misses, it made me drive more cautiously and be more attentive when driving, and that accident I saw yesterday will probably make me even more cautious.
P.S. Owlman's sophisticated diagram of the accident he was involved in, makes the one I did look inferior.
