My Roundabout Wake-Up Call: Lessons from a Near Miss

Today, I had a real scare on the road. I almost caused an accident at a two-lane roundabout because I misread the lanes and tried to merge back at the last second. Total rookie move, and it was completely my fault. My heart was racing, and honestly, my confidence took a hit. I’ve only been driving for about six weeks, so every mistake feels huge. If you’re new to driving, double-check your lane before entering a roundabout. If you mess up, stay calm and stick to your lane—don’t panic. Have you ever had a close call like this?

My First Fender Bender: Lessons Learned the Hard Way

I’m (M18) still feeling the nerves after my first solo drive ended with a minor accident. My water bottle slipped, startled me, and I tapped the car in front at a red light. The sound of my license plate crunching made my heart drop. I tried to follow the other driver, but they just sped off, leaving me confused and guilty. If you ever find yourself in this situation, take a deep breath. Check for damage, snap some photos, and write down what happened. It’s normal to feel shaken—accidents happen to everyone.

That Heart-Stopping Right Turn: Learning to Judge Traffic Speed

Last week, I had a real wake-up call while turning right on red. I thought a black truck was far enough away, but suddenly it was right next to me, horn blaring. My mom was in the car and it really shook us both up. I realized I still have trouble judging how fast cars are coming. If you’re new to driving, try counting how many seconds it takes for a car to reach a landmark—if it’s under 3 seconds, wait. Being cautious is always better than being sorry.

Your Dashcam: Friend or Foe on the Road?

I always thought my dashcam would be my best defense if something went wrong on the road. But after hearing about someone who accidentally proved their own fault in court with their dashcam footage, I started to see things differently. It made me take a hard look at my own driving and realize how important it is to always follow the rules—even when I think no one’s watching. If you use a dashcam, remember it captures everything, good and bad. Drive safe, because your dashcam might just tell the whole story. Have you ever had a dashcam moment that surprised you?
