Guys
I just had an accident today...made me learn a lot of stuff that I would like to share with you all..
This morning , I was turning left in my sch and I have signal my intention to turn long ago. This reckless driver came from behind and bang into my ack wheel..why? maybe he was fast? maybe he was cock? maybe he couldnt care less ? but thats not the main issue.
At the first impact of the bang, I thought I corner too low on tarmac causing my back wheel to slide so I countered steer and managed to escpae from a fate of scratches and bruises. Upon stopping the bike, I expect him to come out of the car looking apologetic, instead, he dashed out giving a fark face and claimed that I stopped too soon and signaled too late..we started to have a heated agrument on whois right and whois wrong and that driver simply dun want to admit his mistake and insisted on claiming my insurance. That arsehole even challanged me to hit him.. DUN!! no matter under what circumstances , you should never lay your hand on the driver...road bullies are always wrong!~
without even giving a care to what he says, I phoned for the police knowing that there wouldnt be a case as theres no damage to public property, no injury, and doesnt affect cyclists or pedestrains. The police arrived and WOW! you see the change in attitude of that guy became instantous.. amazing!!
Police came and took down what happened and will keep it as referance...
When you are involved in an accident, dun panic or be agitated! analyse the situation and select your strong points and work on them!
No matter whether the driver ask for a private settlement or he wana make a claim, report the matter to your respective insurance company and file it under report...NTUC income policies holder can do it at IDAC (few locations) they could even provide free towing if your vehicle cant move.This is to protect yourself against double sided snakes that says they wouldn claim you in front of you but makes a claim behind your back..Your insurance company will access the situation and take down pictures of your bike and hopefully writes a report in your favor..
Next important thing..
If some driver has been performing some "tricks" on the road that you find its a hazzard to other road users safety, you can also do a write in to complain abt them.. all you need is that "stunt" driver or rider's plate number.
Write a formal fax letter to OC Violation Traffic POlice Department telling them what has happened. The fax number is 65474883, the telephone number is 65470000..
Your complain could probably save another rider or driver life.. :thumbs:
