Dj_spike 2nd Gear December 8, 2010 Share December 8, 2010 Was on the way back home in dad's car from office yest.... happened 2 traffic lights from destination(500-700m away).... It started to rain heavily and the lights were green at a junction. Just as when my dad juz crossed the junction on the leftmost lane, a cyclist(kid) went full speed across the road and banged into the side mirror at the driver's side. Side window had a long crack. Slight dent at the driver's door and a bump at the rear fender. My dad was crying aloud in the car when the bang came. My heart was thumping as i witnessed the whole thing as well... Car stopped 5m in front. When i opened the door, a huge relief came to me when i saw the kid standing and trying to straighten his bicycle. So we asked him if he was ok... he said it was ok except for a few scratches on his leg.... initially, he did not want to go hospital but his family came down one by one and insisted he go do a checkup so we sent him to cgh and waited till 10.... Before moving on to the hospital, I managed to consult a fren and made him sign a memo saying he was at fault. The kid was sorry for barging across like that. He was on his mp3 player and obviously did not look to his left. He said it started raining and he did not wanna his mp3 player(hp with no sim) to get wet. Dunno this one is called heng or suay [sweatdrop] ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno this one is called heng or suay [sweatdrop] Still.. it's smart move to make him sign the memo.. at least his parents can't sue ur dad.. His parent should pay for ur dad's car damages.. Serious;y not ur dad's fault.. Did they offer to compensate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
