What is a "fender-bender"?
A fender-bender is a minor car accident, usually involving a small collision between vehicles at low speeds. It often results in little damage, mostly to the fenders or bumpers of the cars involved. These accidents are typically not serious and may not cause injuries, but drivers still need to exchange information for insurance purposes and may file claims for repairs. Fender-benders commonly happen in places like parking lots or traffic jams.
Examples
