- Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have.

- The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
- In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
- The gentleman behind me struck me on the backside. He then went to rest in the bush with just his rear end showing.
- I told the police I was not injured, but on removing my hat I found I had a fractured skull.

- I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law in the other seat and headed over the embankment.
- I had been driving my car for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
- To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.

- A pedestrian I did not see, hit me then went sliding under my car.
- The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran over him.
- The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle.
- An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle, and then vanished.
