juz a brief intro, i have abt 1year and half of driving
experience wif a clean record of 24points and i drive safely.Met
wif an accident abt a month back.i juz finished my test in school
and was going back home by clementi road at abt 6+pm.as usual there
was a jam. the road that i was in was a 3-lane road and i was in
the right lane. the lane that i was in is a 2-way arrow, straight
or right turn to minor road. As i was intending to go straight, and
the car infront of me had already signaled his intentions to turn
right, i did the logical thing to signal left to cut into the
middle lane. checking into my mirror, the middle lane was empty, (i
was travelling no more than 50km/hr as got minor jam) i sped up to
overtake into the middle lane. juz as i was abt to cut into the
middle lane, a light blue MPV,who was in the
left lane, without signalling oso decided to cut into the middle
lane. i was slightly infront of him so obviously i m supposed to
have the right of way, but that fucker blewed his horn at me and
showed no signs of giving way. sensing that if i continue to cut
into the middle lane, i will bang onto his car, i quickly serve
back to my right lane.i noe i should have continued cutting, but an
impulse to avoid an accident made me swerve back. however the car
infront was already too near for me although i jam braked. the
impact was something i wont be able to 4get soon. my right bumper
had bumped onto his rear bumper. haiz, as usual we both stopped and
got off the car to inspect. he is driving a white, old mercedes and
is apprantly a director of a department in NUS!(found that out later). upon inspecting, there wasnt
any damage i could see in his bumper, but my right bumper is
screwed. we exchange contacts and i apologise to him, as i know he
is innocent. i can only blame the fucker driving the light blue
MPV.haiz. in the end the fella called me at
night to claim damage, that his bumper got scratches. paid him $400
bucks, and my dad’s car total repais amounts to $600.my dad paid
for me but i felt so guilty as it was the 1st time the car met wif
an accident. any opinios or comments any1?..haiz
