I met with two car accidents so far from the start of the year 2010. One which happened just last month, weeks before the CNY. A taxi crashed into the rear of my car as I was turning right to Pioneer Road. I made a third's party claim and had my car repaired at the workshop...and all's well until just last Saturday, I met with another.
I do not know if I am down with luck or what...but why must it always be me!??!! This time round, I was driving along bendeemeer road. (winding road due to the massive construction of the flyover) I was in the centre lane turning at the bend...all of a sudden this car on my right coming from the back crashed and scratched my car. She should have gave way to me since I am ahead of her but she didn't. She can't even gauge the size or length of her car I supposed because it is a relatively new car plate starting with SJV..immediately I slowed down and got dearie to take down the idiot's car number. She who happened to be a P-plate (driver who just passed driving test), actually ignored me when I wound down my window to signal to her to follow me and stop by the road to discuss about the claims. She appeared shocked and totally ignored my hand signals or my calling out to her and drove on....
HIT AND RUN!
Damn! I should have followed her if I'd known she would be driving away and running away from the consequences... Too late anyway, I have reported the matter to the police...and the police advised me that I shouldn't worry to much about it and that the officer said the lady driver would most likely be punished because she has just committed a road traffic offence - hit and run! I was told to call traffic police on Friday if I wanna know what actually happened to her.
I have to spend $ to get rid of the scratches and chipped off part on the side rear. My heart ached badly when my car has scratches and dents as a result of these stupid brainless careless drivers...
