We hit the gym earlier at 630 pm today.
It's a much better time when I'm still filled with energy!
Headed to the Uniqlo Vivocity Sale after!!
Spent $87.40 on my Standard Chartered credit card which had $80 rebate preloaded! WOOT
Anyway, in light of recent events, I thought I'll do a post on What To Do In A Minor Car Accident? (Truffs is jumping all over me as I type this -too cute)
1. Agree with the other driver to drive to a
safer location.
If both of you are unhurt, move the dispute away from what could potentially be another disaster. Drive to the side of the road, or even a nearby open carpark.
2. Exchange information.
This point is obvious. Driver's license, contact details, insurance contacts. You get the drift.
3. Camwhore
Finally, your Instagram practice can come to real use!! Snap away at his car and yours to document the damages. Even take a sneaky shot of his face! I joke.
4. If you're at fault.. Negotiate to settle.
Use all your charm to persuade the other party to settle outside of insurance laws (don't wait till later!) This will save you the inflation of insurance premiums. Also, ask that he brings his car down to your workshop to check out.
If he agrees to settle but insists on his own workshop, get a quote from your own trusty workshop to compare against his. (use the pictures taken in step 3) Alot of workshops jack up their prices and gives the extra to the driver!!
If he agrees to settle but insists on the manufacturer's workshop... ouch?
Just be glad he didn't take it to the insurance guys.
Just be sure to confirm if he's taking you to the insurers or not, because all accidents have to be filed within 24 hours.
Note, all accidents are suppose to be reported to insurers...
5. Be safe.
Yes, you are distraught that it happened. And can also be a bit dazed. Or cursing away.
But I can't stress this enough...
Don't stand where it is dangerous!!!!
Even if your car is parked by the side of the road, don't stand on the driver's side, don't stand in front of your car, don't stand behind your car!!
Recently, this heart-breaking story took place here in Singapore.. So, thank your lucky stars no one got hurt and be safe.
