I know an elder who made a couple of accidents and scrapped his car more than once going to the kingdom hall or assembly hall out of town.
I guess that the angels weren't looking after him that day...
I even remember a brother making an accident with another brother in the field service...lol
Got a speeding ticket going to a meeting, don't think I was speeding though.

my only parking ticket was when in FS
I was with a carload of sisters in FS, and the driver got pulled over and a ticket for going 41 in a 35 zone.
Never had a speeding ticket in my life.
But there have been some times out in field service that I was afraid I would not make it to the restroom in time.
[1] Returning from rural field service, and as I passed a tractor it turned without indicationg into the side of our car. No one hurt but car opend up like a sardine tin [perhaps we should have continued for one more door?]
[2] On rural field service and my friend lost it on a gravel road and munted a bank [not speeding].
[3] Going to an assembly, doing 180kph, my brother driving my car [this was in our rebel days]. After some time we noticed a motorcycle that was not vanishing into the distance, slowed down to the legal limit [80kph at the time]. The motocycle cop pulled us over, told my beother it was his lucky day, and let him off with a warning.
Now I hadn't thought of angels helping get off that ticket, my explanation was the cop was gay and fancied my brother!
I hit a mailbox out in FS one time with my mirror and knocked it over.
Last year at DC, two people crashed in the parking lot right by entrance to the coliseum. No it was the year before last in Memphis......it was kinda funny, but I did feel sorry for the both of them. Everyone waiting to get in saw it or at least heard it.

Oh, I buoght my car from the PO at my hall, who is also a pioneer. It has lots of little places on the bumpers where you can tell it has hit something. Everytime I would take someone in service they seemed to have a story about how this brother hit something out in service while they were in the car.

I got into two car accidents on my way to meetings or service. Neither my fault.
A sister in my hall was killed when a speeding teenager hit her on her way to the territory.
The sister was pioneering and everyone made comment how she served Jehovah to the end AND got her time in that month. She was auxillary pioneering.
The sister who was driving the car... well she ended up moving away.
-Aude.
