I just had my first small crash in a car, in my life(5 years driving)! Went well though, it was more of a "kiss" than a crash, but I still got shit-scared for the car damage. I took my old mans car to go and do something and while coming back, I was entering the circular intersection and for a split second turned my head right to wave at a friend. I turned my head back quickly and the car in front of me stopped before a pedestrian crosswalk so I pressed on the break as hard as I could and ABS and every other gizmo in the car went off like I was going 150km/h, not 30km/h.

I hit the car in front of me so gently, which was coincidentaly also a VW Passat, and all that is good in the world was on my side that day because neither of us had a scratch! To make matters worse, all this happened in front of my firm with my old man standing outside, helping a customer park, and he never noticed a thing.
Praise the Lord!
