I've never wrecked a car yet (I started to type "I've never been in a car wreck", but that's not true), but I amassed an adequate collection of dents in my first year or so of driving.

Never got a speeding ticket yet, though.

Well, not precisely. At 16, most fatal car crashes have something to do with alcohol. At 66, it's more likely to be undiagnosed Alzheimer's.
