Today, I finally removed my car insurance after realizing it costs too much money. Since I then had more money, I went to celebrate with ice cream. On the way, I got hit by a truck. FML

Today, I thought it was about time to learn to ride a bike as an adult. I wobbled down the street, lost my balance, and crashed into a parked ice cream truck. The owner yelled at me, and I was left with a bruised ego and no ice cream. FML

Today, after 2 years of paying off the insurance fees after an accident, I got rear-ended. It was the same driver who crashed into me the first time. FML

Today, I heard the ice cream truck. Being the idiot that I am, I ran down the steps and almost immediately fell down them. I needed four stitches. I didn't even get my ice cream. FML

Stick to sidewalks

Today, after my car got stolen and flipped on its roof three months ago, making it an insurance write-off, and getting a new car a week ago, a drunk driver crashed into my parked car, writing it off. In both instances the drivers were thankfully OK, it's just my insurance premiums skyrocketing, no biggie. FML

Today, I finally had enough money to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring, which I was going to pick up after work. On my way to work, I slid on the ice and crashed into a parked vehicle. The damage to my car is almost twice the amount of the ring. FML

Today, I volunteered to go get ice cream if I could use my mother's car. She told me to be VERY careful. Not ten minutes later, I hit a deer, which got up and walked off as though nothing had happened. FML

Today, I hit a patch of black ice and totaled my car. The car is a month old. For the next 5 years I'll be paying for a car I can't drive. FML

Today, I was hit by a truck while walking to school. It was the driver's fault as I was in a crosswalk. My parents met me at the hospital where I had minor injuries. They began discussing what the insurance money would be spent on. They decided on a second honeymoon to Las Vegas. FML

Today, I slid on ice and hit another car while driving to work. My car was totalled, and my leg hurt, while the other car had very little damage. Not two minutes later, the salt truck drove by, spraying the road. FML

Spending spree

By Anonymous - 21/09/2023 04:00 - Australia - Brisbane

Today, I got a pay bonus and spend it on paying for 12 months of car registration up-front for the first time in my life, filled the tank, and got it professionally washed. After all that, I accidentally reversed into my own house, causing major damage. I have to borrow the money for the insurance excess. FML

If you can't afford the insurance, you shouldn't have a car in the first place. Get off the road.

In Israel you need at least basic insurance to legally drive the vehicle. I do think it's dumb to not have more than basic to cover your ass for the idiots out there.

#19 it doesn't matter how many states it's illegal in, OP lives in Israel

Technically, Israel is considered a soverign state. I highly doubt that's what #19 was saying, but... just thought I'd point that out. OP, YDI, 100%. Like #16 said, if you can't afford insurance, don't drive.

You should have tried to find a cheaper insurance company.

Yep, it's illegal to drive without insurance in many states in the US and several countries in Europe from what I understand. Almost everyone gets in at least a minor car accident at least once in their lifetime...driving without insurance is taking a big (and dumb) risk. As expensive as you think it may be it pales in comparison to how much you would have to pay to fix yours and/or someone else's car!
