    Don't feel bad. We've all screwed up at one point or another. I guarantee every driver has had an incident and a good number have had accidents.

    I can guarantee you not But even if you are accurate, there is a huge difference.
    If someone has a wreck (feel good terminology aside) and simply walks away with the attitude "Stuff happens" then they are not growing and do not belong in this field.

    If, on the other hand, he had a wreck, and in his mind knows he messed up and tries to fix the issue then, well sometime we can be doing everything we can and still mess up. Just admit to one's self of the mess up and move on with life.

    Well obviously i dont make the same mistakes. I dont go out of my way to break ####. Obviously i dont feel good about it i feel like a ####ing idoit after i do something stupid. Dosent mean stuff dosent happen! #### happens! Human error. We arnt perfect. Maybe i was tired. Maybe i was in a hurry(this is usually the reason for me).. so i slowed things down. Or maybe i had no idea there is a ditch in this snow?? Looked like part of the parking lot at 4am. :/ for me i was either in a hurry or just really tired..

    See man your a cool cat unlike someother people. 5 wrecks nah more like 5 tiny dents.. 5 tiny incidents is less than 1 accident killing someone. Or gettimg their car towed away right??
    And correction 5 incidents in 1 year 6 months
