guys, e verdict not out yet.

 

also i juz wanna clarify again, that i din post this video trying to achieve anything. juz trigger the tot of posting when i saw another post has similar incident. i already leave the fighting to e insurance co. to settle. it's out of my hands.

 

also, as i mentioned earlier, i was not turning slowly. i inched out to check for clearance, n move out when i see safe to do so. e moment i see his car appearing from nowhere coming towards me, i step on gas but alr too late. he claim he saw me turning, but simply swerve left to "protect his wife". if u were me, wat would u feel? he did hv e capacity to make a sound decision but he made e one where both lose. he lose car, risking more injury upon collision. i will lose more though, cos BOLA would hv sided him.

 

i wont say posting this incident is for educational purpose. im not at tat level yet. juz to share a personal experience where it really frustrates me. there r indeed pple out there simply hack care, as long he is going straight. does not matter if he is fetching loved ones. does not matter if road is wet. i dunnot how to post photo as comment, else if u look at his damage, u would know e impact upon collision can show that he is travelling above 50km/h.

 

well, there will be pple feel that i am in denial mode. too bad. u dun know me personally, but i still thank you for ur comments. end of the day, i believe all of us here juz wanna reach our destination safely and live on to enjoy our ride for next day.

 

So after your posting and the replies, what's your take?

 

You keep saying the party can blah blah blah, slow down, give way etc...

 

But yourself? You can speed up, NOT TURN,etc....

 

So you learned your lesson? Or still think you have some righ?

 

I mentioned previously it is about law, this country is about law and rules cause it's so congested.

 

Nobody knows you personally, if you come to a forum expecting a straight answer, you are getting it. Everyone wants to get to destination safely in the most efficient manner, it is ppl like you who thinks that others should be "nice" and give way that puts laws and rules into question.

 

We are not your friends to pat you on the back and tell you (with biased opinions) that the other guy should give way. You screwed up and accept the fact, say sorry to the other guy, learn from it and move on.

When you see safe to do so, then you are still not a safe driver yet.

 

Don't assume, if not sure just wait for the green arrow.

 

How can a car travelling above 50 km/h just appear from nowhere???

[BlueOldMan]

well i will accept watever verdict n had no intend to appeal. alr submitted everything needed to submitted. e rest is out of my hands (think it's e 5th or 6th times i'm saying this)

 

anyway i dun understand y would so pple here gloat at my incident, as if i've done a evil act by making a turn when i deem safe for me to do so. well, i shall not comment more.

 

be safe everyone.

 

You can still talk here consider very lucky Liao

If that's a felali, your gate oreadi closed

Time n experience shall teach you

no need to fight, you will lose for sure.

 

straight road always have the right of way.. that chap who hit you knows the rules well, he could easily avoid the accident but insist in hitting you, probably he's going high speed based on the clip.

 

this is taken from Bola rules, i had a similar accident like yours few months back and i went 5 lawyers seeking for legal advice and all told me about this bola ruling.

 

I am curious what is Bola rule...Google it and mostly tokking about golf ?? Please share if possible. Thank you !!

Here's the link about BOLA rule.

Brief description as follows:

a) If I make a claim, will I automatically lose my NCD?

 

Not necessarily.

 

All insurers in Singapore use a guide called the Barometer of Liability Agreement (BOLA) to determine how much each party is liable in an accident.

 

The BOLA is designed to speed up claims processing. It does not diminish your right to contest liability under the law.

 

Under the BOLA, your NCD will not be affected if your liability is 20% or less in an accident involving an identified vehicle. In all other cases, your NCD may be affected.

Thanks...so this one is call Bola...

 

One thing to note...if you kenna a few accident in a year (all not your fault) eg like kenna rear ended...

 

Those 10-20% will come back and haunt you when you renew your premium...I kenna before...premium went up even though my NCB was intact at 50%.
