bloody accident

i'm ok.. i'm not bloody but i had a stupid accident after work one day...
it happened at those type of junctions where u have to turn to the left and u got to look at your right for on coming traffic... well... i thought the car infront of me would have left cause it was already in the middle of the road.. so i just looked to my left to see when i could go... so when i started to go, i hit the car infront of me!!! WTF!! she didn't leave yet!!!! she's still there!!!... i mean when u start moving and there's NO TRAFFIC.... YOU GO!!!!! not stop halfway!!!!!
bloody bitch!!
so what to do.... she demanded 350 from me.. though only a plastic cover broke and there was a hair line crack on her red lights... somemore she works in the same place... DAMN!!!.... the damage to my car was even worst... the headlamp broke, bumper cacat... the main bar under the hood is dented.... sigh....
lady drivers... such scardey-cat! little bit little bit scard.. dare not move.. dunno how to drive... i saw her traffic.. IT WAS CLEAR!! she would have easily gone... but nooo.... just because she saw something coming from like a MILE AWAY she had to suddenly stop..... FUCK!
there goes my birthday treat to myself....
*CRY*

It sucks how if the car in front of you suddenly stops and you crash into them, it's your fault!!!

Hi Fi. Firstly, sorry to hear about your aunt. Hopefully she will pull through this and that she will be given the all clear soon. *fingers cross*

Also, shock to hear about your accident but I'm glad that you were not hurt. It's probably too late now but when I was back and even had discussion with my dad about accidents in Malaysia and he thinks that Malaysians should practice proper 'accident procedure', aka to claim from insurance.

I'm sure it wouldn't have cost $300+ to get her car sorted by the sound of it and what do you get out of all that. If you claim from the insurance, she will only be entitled to what her repairs are and besides her insurance company would have had to pay for your repairs too if you dispute that it was entirely your fault and had witnesses.

Over here, it is never done the way people do in Malaysia (where you hand cash in hand after an accident) even though insurance are high here and you lose your no claims bonus if you are at fault, which means higher premium the following year. I think it could be 'illegal' to even do that - not sure. But at least you won't get cheated into paying more than you should. Besides, you do pay for a service so might as well make use of it.

I guess people just don't know how insurances work in Malaysia. I'm saying it coz I myself didn't whilst I was there.

Sorry to go off on a tangent. Anyway I'm just glad you are alright. Hopefully you'll just have good luck coming your way now, after all you've been through. If you need to talk/let off steam, you know I'm always here.

OMG you crashed your new car yet again! I did advise you to slow down when you were driving my car here. Gee at 0-60 at 5 seconds at a juction of course you'd crash.
There is a thing called comprehensive insurance you know and you shouldn't pay anyone yet and let the insurance companies handle it. After this try fitting a big Bull bar like we have on trucks here.

hahah thanks all for the "advice"...

the thing is, dad said even if we did lodge a report and get a claim, they will only pay us if the damage is more than RM500.. is if anything is less than that... got to pay yourself....

sigh....

Do they sell proton trucks with big bumper bars? You may like to consider swapping your car for one of those. Then you can push every one out of the way! You go girl!
gee what sort of insurance companies you're got there?!
Oh by the way, nice burn outs you did while driving over here. I still can't get off all the tyre marks outside my drive way.

I just met an accident myself too. and been searchin on what is the proper procedure to do.

it involves a car(me) and a motorbike(a lady)
the thing that irritates me is that strangers who came and aid the lady and threaten to beat me up if I don't let the lady go.

the problem was, I was being nice and cooperative to the lady and asking for her details and stuffs. and those rascals came in and pretended it was their business. NEVER for once I said who's at fault. NEVER. and those people just came in, asked her to just drive away and let them settle it for her.

PENYIBUk sial budak. LOL.
glad that the incident was over as nobody was injured.
