XLP 142, eto ang sa'yo...

i got involved in an accident last saturday morning while i'm bound
to the office. i'm in the intersection of EDSA and Pasay Road, northbound when i decided to fill-up, coz i'm low in fuel. to cut the story short, there has
been an occassion on CSA in Dasmariñas Village, so traffic in that intersection was gridlocked. as the vehicle in my front moved i tried to follow with my lights on and since the lights were green, i decided to go for it. when this stupid Toyota Vios XLP 142 cut me and asserted that he should go first. being prudent driver i gave way, when wham, next thing i knew, the right hand doors of the Vios was on my front bumper. calmly, i assess the situation. the driver of the said car was so furious that he scolded me, which i countered with a calm voice and said there is no need to shout. i asked the driver if the car is insured, he said i should talk to the owner (who at the time
was also furious) and so complying that i even offered to pay the participation fee on the spot to settle the matter. but the stood their ground and said they a police report. so i said OK.

at the precint, when we filed a police report, the driver has displayed quite an initiative shouldering the expenses of the Xerox Copy and the fare of the MMDA enforcer that accompanied us.

this really irritates me since i'm late for work and i have tons of paperworks not mention the snail-paced process of the investigation by the investigator. so we got ourselves sworn statement when done, the investigator even asked both of us, "ina-amin mo ba na may kasalanan ka?" the driver of the
Vios said no. i said no, but i wrote down that i would cover the cost of participation fee (which i shouldn't have done) the investigator even chided me "iho, di mo inaamin na may kasalanan ka, pero nilagay mo dito, babayaran mo na lang- admission of guilt yon"... naku, patay. sabi ko na nga ba. so, we got outside inspected the damages on the cars (both mine and Vios), clearly the marke on the doors says, the car i was driving was at rest. the nasty gash, says so.

after that, the investigator dismissed us, saying on monday we should get the police report. so, both of us complied. turns out, the based on the investigation its not my fault since my vehicle is at rest during the time of the incident.

Mamang Driver, you got me scared, but i got you fooled. kala mo naisahan mo ako. nasigawan mo nga ako nung una pero di kita babayaran, kasi
di ko kasalanan...

[carlocaraddict]

[Chip]

tama lang na wag mong bayaran

[albert_b]

sana merong mga built-in video cams sa mga cars para kita agad kung sino may sala :-D

[pajerokid]

never concede anything until the police report comes out.

[pajerokid]

by the way, just a bit of trivia.

In police reports, V2 is always the culprit. (in two car accidents)

[mazdamazda]

rex... buti na lang ok lumabas yung police report!

[gearspeed]

oo nga tama lang yun huwag mo bayaran..

[pitbullz]

[ILuvDetailing]

unfortunately sir PK, i happened to be the V2. but then, it was my right of way,(its green light which i didn't add in the sworn statement) and actually i offered to pay for the damages just before the police report came out. but then, police report, MMDA enforcer, and the investigator, prevailed. i actually thought o not getting the police report, and just pay then dad mentioned to me i didn't have to go get the police report. but at the last minute, he told he'd accompany me to get it.

[Flagg]

Ano nangyari? bayad u ng vios?

Swerte mo a, fair yung police report. That is extremely rare.

[finchy18]

dapat lng sa kanya.

[ian_rex]

flagg, unfortunately no. but he got marked on the side. yes, the report seemed fair because of the technicalities. but then, i'm dealing with a family driver, who doesn't care about their boss' vehicle. kapal nga nang mukha e, nagsisigaw pa dun. halatang-halata na mali siya.

[hector angel]

hmmmm..... i remember watching a similar incident sa TV.... yung guy walang kasalanan. umabot sa korte at malinaw naman na wala. but since sinabi niya na siya ang magbabayad, pinagbayad siya nung judge.... i hope di mangyari sa yo to

[flakez]

baka nga pagbayarin ka since my sworn statement ka na babayaran mo.

[ian_rex]

malabo na sir. di nya ako pwedeng habulin. kasi malinaw naman dun sa police report at yung pulis mismo ang nagsabi na di ko na dapat bayaran e. saka napaka-minor lang naman nung damage nya, plus wala namang nasaktan, kaya i doubt na lumala pa yung sitwasyon. teka sir, taga saan ka ba? sa US?

[nixon75]

tama wag mo bayaran.

[ian_rex]

i was waiting for the call from the other party if ever they want to talk, then possibly counter my proposal, if ever they would claim the participation fee.

up until now, no calls nor contacts have been made by the other party. i wonder if i called to remind them of their responsibilities...
