Misfortune

Last two weeks, we were on our way back from Rawang (jalan lama), turning the corner when a Navara hit our car on the front passenger's side. The side mirror folded and there was a loud bang. I gasped in shock. Hubby quickly asked me to jot down the number plate, I did, and he drove after the Navara. Luckily, he stopped at a Shell station near Templer Park and Hubby got out of the car to deal with the guy. Budak lagi rupanya. I could tell that he panicked but I believe, if we didn't go after him then he wouldn't have stopped anyway. Ha-ha. 

Then, the budak admitted that he was avoiding a pothole on the road when he hit our car. So that was it. But the damage is done and of course he will need to pay for the repairs. Hubby called his mechanic and the mechanic gave an estimation of 1k. I'm not surprised at all, the budak deserved it. I found out from the gas station attendant that the budak thought it would only cost him 20 - 30 ringgits.. Like, seriously?? Ingat kereta kitorang ni kereta mainan ke? D'oh. In the end, he asked us to wait for his boss to come over to the station (kereta pengangkut barang rupanya) to settle the matter. And so we waited.

Not long after that,  the boss came and took a look at both cars. This apek pulak said, "ala sikit je" and it pissed me off, and so I replied, "sikit ke banyak ke, your worker had hit our car". The apek still did not wanna lose and claimed "entah-entah kamu yang langgar kereta saya". WTF? Even the worker had admitted his fault, and this apek still had the guts to accuse us.. We tried to settle the matter with as little fuss as possible and this is what we get. Ni mesti kes takmau bayar ni.

In the end, Hubby asked him again, NICELY, on how to settle the matter: either they want to pay cash or to make an insurance claim and he settled for the latter. But of course, in order to do that we would need to make a police report. We planned to go to the police station straightaway but the apek said that "we'll do it tomorrow". Whatever lah apek, malas nak layan kau. 

A few days later we went back to the police station to take all the necessary documents to make the claim. We met the officer who was in charge of our case and he told us that he had issued a summon to the budak and that he was at fault. When we read the budak's report, my oh my, it is full of unbelievable lies. Statements like "saya sedang memandu di selekoh bila tiba-tiba sebuah Jazz hitam muncul dari kanan.." or "kereta saya calar teruk.." show that we were the one at fault. Bengang tak?? When we asked the officer, he claimed that the budak had confessed that he was trying to avoid the pothole when he hit our car, so, don't mind lah the shitty report. So, I believe it must be the apek who made the police report. The budak seems like a nice guy as he kept saying he'll help with the repairs and so on. But you never know right? Nasib baik boleh claim, if not memang cilaka lah those apeks.


Huh!
