Purported quotes from actual police and insurance claim reports from people involved in traffic accidents. Some people will never admit guilt no matter how unbelievable their story sounds, while others do admit guilt while showing they are not the brightest crayons in the box.

2. "A truck backed through my windshield into my wife’s face."
3. "An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle, and vanished."
4. "As I approached the intersection, a stop sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident."
5. "Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don’t have."
6. "He applied brake and his car stopped, I applied brake and my car didn't stop."

13. "I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different direction going the opposite way."
14. "I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car."
15. "I had to take too many mobile phone calls."
16. "I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment."
17. "I saw the slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the hood of my car."
