auto accidents

would someone please help me with statistical info? (please respond directly to my email).

In the last seven years I have had three minor accidents. First, a 90 year old man who was deaf and blind (I'm serious) ran a stop sign. Second, I struck a newly created unpainted unmarked curb extension at 20 mph that was in the heavy shade of a large tree. It had just been completed the day before. I only hit an inch into the curb, but it totaled my car, an 87 Saab. Then last week, a woman talking on a cell phone with three other women and a baby in the car ran a stop sign, and I was going 25 mph or less, or it would have been more than a minor fender bender.

My bitchy wife says that I have more accidents than anyone she knows, and assumes that I am a bad driver. (These are the only three accidents I've had. I am 51).

Are there stats on the number of minor accidents that the average american driver might encounter? Any help would be greatly appreciated as my idiot soon to be ex-spouse has a master's in statistics, and believes in them. By the way, who knows how many wrecks she has left in her wake, but she's 47 (oops, 45) and has never had a wreck. Riding with her would scare the living hell out of you.
