"accident" - does it affect personal mvr?

If your company has not written a incident or accident report, and you were not issued a citation, then odds are its probably over. The safety department at your company would write up one of the two to cover there butts in the future.

Everybody does it is simply not true. I have not confronted a utility pole, street sign, traffic cone, etc... Its called watching what you are doing. A inanimate object like a pole could be just as easily a motorcycle, car or pedestrian.

Pay Attention. Thats why you are there.
