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.
