On Monday 28 July 2008 after sending off my friend I drove to town to go to the bank. Unfortunately during the traffic light stop my car got banged from the back by this large CAMRI, my blood drained and my god my car! I got problem. At that time I thought of my mother, I was on the way to go back to my home town in the southern part of the country. My brain was thinking of all sorts of problems that could a raise from this accident. As I U-turned to checked my car the other car followed. I was first angry because my plans have to change, but at the same time I am glad the driver of the car came out and was stunted that he banged into my bumper. He was apologetic. Because of the heavy traffic, he checked his car and took a look at my car - as he hold open the bonnet - the door was stuck. I realized then, how hard he had bumped into my car. He was restless and later owned the problem by giving me his name and hand phone number. I was too panicked that he offered to paid for the repairs that as I move off and I forgot to look at the car registration plate number. I saw the number but cannot remember the letters. I began to digest what he said and what I said. I blurted "Can I trust you on your words?". I quickly made up my mind I need to make a Police report for insurance claim purposes. I need to do the repairs. I thought this may take at least 1 week.
I was a careful driver but this old guy was not. So off I went to the Traffic Police Station which is on the other side of town. As I finish reporting I called the driver who banged into my car and told him that I had made the report for claim purposes. Well! I was surprised when he said why did I do that.. I thought that was the right way-the proper way, but not his way. He preferred to settle my repair bills. To shorten the story, he met up at the Car Body Workshop and he really kept his words. I was partly relieved as the finance part was settled but I am left with the transport problem. I had to find alternative way to go to my night class. My car will be under repair for about 1 and 1/2 week.
