Scion Turbocharged June 4, 2008 Share June 4, 2008 during lunchtime today, i saw a red altis, while parking head in, crashed into a benz with a pretty loud sound... the altis quickly drove away, leaving the benz with bad scratches and damaged clips of its front bumper, slightly dislodged. i rem the number plate of the altis and went for the lunch, thinking maybe the altis owner will leave a note on the benz... after lunch, i went back to the carpark but there was nothing on the benz (well, shd be normal right)... so i was pondering for 10 min between being a kaypoh or to mind my own business... in the end, i left a note on the benz to inform him the number plate of the altis and my contact number, offered to be a witness if the owner needs help... if you were me, what will u do? i'm just hoping next time if i kena this kinda sh|t, someone will help me too... heh ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leepee 1st Gear June 4, 2008 Share June 4, 2008 Usually I will try to attract the attention of the pertetrator, and make him realised that his actions has being witnessed by someone. Even if I could not take down the licenceplate in time. At least I hope I can make the culprit have a few sleepless nights, wondering whether the police will come knocking on his door anytime soon. I once witness a taxi slowing down quickly and cause a Mit Lancer to e-brake and self-mount onto the center divider. This happened in front of the road between Summerdale Condo and the fire station at Boon Lay Place. I flashed at the taxi and horned, but the taxi accelerated off very fast towards Boon Lay MRT direction, while I went off towards Jurong point direction. I took down the licence plate of the taxi and called up the police to give them the taxi number and his act. It was an annoymouse call, so I don't know the outcome. On hindsight, I doubt my information will get passed from police to insurance to car owner at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scion Turbocharged June 4, 2008 Author Share June 4, 2008 nowadays i dunno whether singapore is still a gracious society... eg, usually i will flash (not those impatient flashes) to the opp lanes whenever i spot a TP on a overhead bridge in their lanes... i know it's not exactly right to do this, but heck, i want to warn the others becos long ago, someone in the opp lanes flashed and it did help me from being caught becos i slowed down... anyway i tot most will appreciate this kind of gesture until recently i read that one person complained to stomp, not on this flashing but abt radio DJ giving early warning on the "possible" locations of the TP... hmmm, so the DJ (or everyone else) shd mind his own business?
