well i think you mean knock down a mail box and yes it is.
Added: Technically, yes it is. However the charges (if brought against you) will probably be prosecuted under local statutes (e.g.: vandalism - destruction of property - etc).

If you sneeze while driving and end up in an accident who is held accountable?
You will be, of course. You were driving and are fully responsible for anything that the vehicle does.
What is the first thing that I should do if I've had a vehicle accident but no other vehicle was involved?
The first course of action following an accident should be to contact the local authorities or police. Even if no other vehicle is involved there may be damage to anothers property as well as your own vehicle and a police report is helpful to have for claims that will be made against your insurance policy. In many states it is also illegal to leave the scene of an accident with any type of damage present whether it be property or vehicle damage even if your own vehicle, so contacting the police should always be your first course of action if your able to do so.

Federal Portal-to-Portal Act says that the commute from home to assigned work site is unpaid. If injured in employer vehicle, the employer's auto insurance applied, NOT workers comp - commuting employees are not in the course and scope of employment.

Can you be sued in an auto accident when neither vehicle was insured?
Yes, of course you can be sued for anything...The fact that neither vehicle wasn't insured does not obsolve the 'at fault' party from being responsible for the damage they caused to the 'innocent'.. (subject to state laws of course regarding recovery by an uninsured)
What if someone else get a DUI under my auto insurance?
If they were the permissive driver of your vehicle in an accident (and got the dui), your policy will be paying for the damages (subject to any policy exclusions, and assuming the drunk was at fault) Insurance stays with the vehicle. So any rate increase that this accident generates will be on your policy, as well (of course) as your collison deductible. If you are asking what happens if they were just driving your vehicle and got a dui, no accident or loss. I doubt anything will happen. You might want to rethink who you let drive your vehicle though.
Who is liable if you have an accident and you have no insurance but the owner of the car you borrow has insurance?
Well in 2 different states that I have lived and worked in the insurance follows the vehicle not the person. If someone is letting you borrow there vehicle then they are accepting responsibility for your actions, therefore the accident would be covered on there policy. Of course I would check with state laws to make sure.
Can you sue someone who borrowed money?
Yes it can be done. I'm in the process of doing so myself.

Auto related workmens comp?
Worker's Comp MAY cover an injury from a motor vehicle accident IF the accident is arising from, and in the course and scope of your employment. It will NOT cover an injury sustained while merely commuting to work. However, someone such as a delivery driver that is hurt while delivering, IS covered.
