Default Stupid Accidents You Wish You Could Take Back

After seeing the red GTO loose it in a powered turn in the Video posted somewhere on PY, I was thinking about some other "stupid" accidents I have seen or been a part of.

Hey, if you cant laugh at yourself......?

I was towing a Plymouth Arrow down I95 getting on Beltway around DC/MD years ago in late 70s (19 or 20 y.o) or so for a rental car co I worked for.

We would deliver and pick up the cars in and around DC Metro area and we towed our little co Arrow around with us using a bumper hitch using new PLY VOLARIEs.
Free gas, and worked my own hours while in school.

I95 South bound ENDED merging onto I 495 Capital Beltway by means of a HORSESHOE sharp turn around 25mph iirc.

I hit that thing running 65 or so, but nailed the brakes to late. She started to spin. I spun both cars around twice or so, tearing them up.

Had traffic blocked on I95 South for hours while I was standing there listening to State Troopers joking around.

Thats really the only accident I have ever had that was my fault, but it was a dumb one.....if only I had been paying attention.
