First in 9 years

Please refer the picture below:


That's my car....The guy in the picture is not me la...Yup...after 9 years of driving experience, I finally got myself involved in a real accident as a driver. A relief really coz I no longer carry the burden of never get into an accident, you do know what they say about those who never get into an accident rite..???

Anyway... the accident was quite serious and to be honest, I was quite nervous for the first 5 minutes...takut the guy mati on the spot ba... If mati on the spot, I have to masuk jail until morning ba...the next day I was going to have my Mechanical Vibration exam at 9am ba.... But as soon as the guy starter to move (just turn over by himself and start mumbling), I was actually smiling (delighted in heart).

The incident berlaku like this.. I was at Jalan Wan Alwi, at the traffic light on the very right lane since I was going to turn to right into Jalan Bayor Bukit... I was basically at the traffic light at the Tabuan Jaya crossroad. There were 3 cars in front and 1 car (Hilux) behind me. When the light turn gree, we all start to jalan and turn right... I was basically at the center of the crossroad when there was a loud bang on front left side of my car and something crashed my windshield... A bike rammed my car.... when I realized he's not under my car or in front, I drove a bit into Jalan Bayor Bukit and stop by the road side.

A friend of the motorcyclist chased after me because he thought I was going to run away. He started screaming and sped his bike towards my car. Now, why on earth would I run away? Who's gonna pay for the damaged to my car?? Somebody has to pay and it ain't gonna be me.... The guy was still screaming at me and talking trash..then I got fed up and went out of my car and stood right in front of me... Maybe he realized I'm was bigger than him, he toned down and told me not to run away... I said I'm not going away and I walked towards the accident scene...

The guy was still lying( more like folded) in the middle of the road. A few of his friends told me to send the guy to hospital and not call an ambulance because the guy was drunk (if call ambulance, meaning police will also come and the guy will be charged for drunk driving - jail n fine ba..). I asked them to bawa him to my car but there was another guy there already called an ambulance. The guys started to scold him for calling the ambulance and I just walk away la coz let them gaduh la..ahhaha... just wait for the ambulance... Was still worried at that time la coz the guy was not moving...then yahuuu..he came around, turned and started to mumble something..I dunno what la but I was relieved.. I walked towards my car and looked at the damage..not bad eh for a motobike...

Seeing it's not so serius to my car but quite a damage, I walked back to the scene la...don't really know what to do la...ahhahahh..so I talked with the guys by the roadside.. just talk shit la... A police car came shortly and started evaluating the scene... One thing la, the scene smelt like beer la.. there were a few cans of beer on the road..a bottle of coke and a bottle of langkau I think. So it's quite clear the guy was drunk.... His friends fled the area when they saw the police, only 2 of them stayed... I just walked to the police, gave my detailes and asked them on what I to do... Gave my IC and driving license...and was told to wait until they're done accessing the scene before going to the police station for a formal report. So I just lepak lepak la around the scene..watching on what was going around....

Since I was kinda carefree... the a reported thought I was just a passer by. I tell you, I was really carefree because as long as the guy don't die on the spot, I am fine. A few funny things happen while I was waiting la... A car suddenly pulled over, 3 guys jumped out with their DSLRs around their neck, began taking photos and jumped back into the car and go off...wa...so cepat..even before the ambulance arrive... the ambulance arrived shortly and a new group of reporters arrived as well.. they took photos of the ambulance guys getting the biker..and they asked around on what happened..that's when one of them talked to me la...hahaha.. After knowing I'm the driver, he asked if I'm ok...wa...kenot see I'm all fine, talking and walking here and there izzit???

To be honest, I didn't really know what happened that time... All I knew was that it was not my fault because the traffic light was green for my side and I was following the cars in front of me. But the police guys told me that the bike was actually from the opposite direction..meaning he ran over the red traffic light... He could have rammed any of the cars turning to the right and he was 'lucky' to have hit mine. Since my car is quite high, it prevented him from flying off his bike. Instead he hit his head onto my windshield instead of landing on the road. If he were to hit the saloon car in front of me...ada la superman terbang, land on the road and die on the spot... "lucky' for him, but not to me...

By the way, the two police guys handling my case were Sgt. Sparrow and Sgt. Tuah...talk about their names eh... I have 'Jack Sparrow' and 'Hang Tuah' by my side... :P

After 'clearing' the scene, Sparrow explained on what will happen.... go to police station Simpang Tiga to lodge a report and go to hospital for blood check. Seeing that it'll be a hassle and I do have an exam the next day.. I called my mum using Sparrow's mobile....ahhahah.. mine was out of credit... told ya I was in good hands...

My car was not so bad....can still move..so I drove it to the police station.... My parents were there already la... Kena sound sikit coz the accident occured at 11.30 pm ba... The next day exam...so by right, I should have been studying or sleeping la... but..but. c'mon la... HUngry ba... and I dah study whatever I can for the exam... So I wanted to get some fresh air..lepak minum/makan.. and Togap 2.0 jak available. He's back from UiTM for hols...he stays in Sekama area...so that's why I was driving through Tabuan Jaya area... short cut through Foo CHow road ba...

Anyway... made my police report...at Simpang Tiga..and then went to the hospital for blood test... The guy (the one langgar my car) was already there, emergency ward. Turned out he fractured his left hand and legs as well as having internal injuries...teruk also la...but alive.... took some time at the hospital..tunggu turn ba... then gave my blood... had blood pressure test (was ok, 138/77)..then the doctor checked if I was having any injuries.... lepas itu..baru can go home...it was already 3am.....

So...like that la the accident... Byah!!!

Similar accident happened to my younger brothers during Chinese New Year. A drunk old man ran the red light at 3am and hit the car my brothers were driving. Luckily it happened at the traffic jam just outside my housing area. So my parents could rush to the scene to teman my brothers to the police station and hospital for blood test. The car was quite badly damaged but at least both my brothers were safe.
Damn hate drunk drivers who put other road users' lives at risk.
That injured driver in ur case pun sama. Since he was drunk, how come kawannya still let him drive. Kantoi police datang. I hope he learnt his lesson
