I got into a car crash.
Yes, you did read correctly..into a CAR crash. Just that i was only riding a bike while the person that crashed into me was driving a black sport car.
It all happened when uncle n i were getting home after an hour bike ride. I was riding in a bike lane on the main road but opposing the direction of the traffic flow tho. Reached a T-junction, saw the car on my right stopped and so i passed..n boom..
he hit me! HE HIT ME!!
but yea, i was fine except a swollen ankle and a crooked front tyre. He was apologizing at first and said he gonna fetch his friend to get me n my bike back. But he came back with not only a car but also a bunch of his friends, saying i was at fault(for opposing the traffic flow) and should pay him 300 to 400 bucks for scratching his car. At first, I was so freaked out but insisted that i can't afford it. He said he would lodge a police report but he looked reluctant *like out of good will like tat* He would still get my bike fixed today and i would only have to deal with his insurance company. I was pretty relieved that time..but very em dui..T.T moulala have to pay 400 bucks...but ho, somehow i sensed something was wrong.
So i got home and immediately asked my ang moh housemates about it. Initially i thought they were australians and they would know better but later found out they are zimbabwian..paiseh >.<. n they told me it was HIS fault! he should always check out the bike lane..cause i was in the bike lane..no matter which way i ride..he was wrong to hit me. it's the PEDESTRAINS N CYCLISTS' PRIORITY!!
wa..he was trying to tiok me le!! TIOK ANN JIE U KNOW??
and my kind-hearted ang moh housemate fetched me to the uni security office immediately and told them the whole thing.The security officer said when the accident happened, it was still bright and provided i was wearing a helmet..riding in the opposite direction din giv him enough reasons to hit me! But i will hav to lodge a police report asap and listen to wat the police hav to say.
And so i went to the police station and lodged a report. Police said it's 50-50, depending on the situation. I was still worried..u know..the guy had been calling me on my way to the police station and i had to switch off my phone. Police said i could tell him i reported the accident. Switched back on my phone and there was his message..saying he talked to his insurance company *on a saturday* and they said i had to pay him for damage..which rised to 550 bucks now!!
It was absolute crap la ok?? Which insurance company so darn hardworing to work on a saturday..n u think my bike so geng ar?? can damage his car so severely ar??? huh? i was the casualty la ok?? and so i told him i talked to the security and the police..n i will wait for his insurance company's call. He immediately called me, saying it would cost me more if i waited for them to contact me..wat bullshit is tat???? Somemore ho, he told me he went to lodge a report but the police station was closed wo! He seriously thought i'm nuts or something??? Tell me which country's police station closes????
Neway, at the end i still refused to pay. I got back to the security office and gave them the report number. N told car owner the police said i was right and he should fix my bike. He said he was on his way to the police station and an hour later, he said he heard otherwise from the police and i would hear from his insurance and LAWYERS soon!!
LAWYERS?? DAI ME AR??
I got scared afterwards and talked to friends that drive and dun drive....A friend told me because of his age..his insurance normally will ask me to pay up to 400 buck at max..and tat's it.. n he asked for 550!! after talking to his insurance on a SATURDAY!! for that few tiny scratched which weren't even confirmed if my bike caused it!!
I'm telling you! I will fight him with all my mights n means. No way i will pay him a penny until the police called..his insurance company called..and i checked the company n his insurance policy!! Sue mai sue!! heng ga dong cang dou tong kui ta gung si!!
No news today until this point but i did find out something new..the car owner is a COMPLETE ASSHOLE!!
