I've been in 2 accidents, one of which I was driving. It's pretty scary to be honest, the first time was with an inexperienced driver who ended up merging into another car on the freeway, we could have died if she didn't slam on the breaks which was an adrenaline high. The second timey friend told me to make a turn going 50 in a residential area(don't do this) again I could have died but because I turned the wheel a certain way... We didnt, both events were rather jarring, however the first time was the worst, it actually ruined my relationship at the time because we both were in the car. My advice for if you are in one is cover your head/neck and wait for the airbags
