Hey guys, I thought that zi'd share a personal experience with you. Not that you guys care anyway, but I just had to share haha
A week or two ago, I got into an accident while delivering pizza in my scooter.
I collided head first into a sudan, fell off my motorcycle and was lying there worried about any injuries, then the driver of the car got out and started cursing at me, accusing me of speeding and shit.
First off, I'm absolutely okay and suffered only minor bruises. I get into similar situations often and I guess that my body automatically reacted in a way so that I wouldn't get hurt.
And no, I wasn't speeding and it was the guy's fault, 100%. The accident happened when I made a right turn after climbing up a hill with my 50cc scooter (impossible to speed at that angle) and there was a parked car that was blocking my view.
It was the guy that was speeding.
Now normally, it's the fault of the person making a turn when automobile accidents happen and I would have been at the disadvantage if there was no surveillance camera and another parked car's blackbox recording everything.
The moment I realized that, I was very grateful for today's technological advances.
Now while I was on the ground, I started to video record everything that the guy was spitting at me. I've seen a LOT of movies and dramas in which recordings have or would have helped the people in trouble, so it was the first thing that came to mind when the guy started cursing.
Then while he was calling his insurance company, I called another bro who delivers pizza with me and has more experience (I had no idea what to do) and he came and tried asking the guy some questions.
That sure rustled his jimmies and suddenly, accused bro of not showing respect to his elders (the guy was probably in his late 40's, bro in his 20s) and he picked up his phone again and called his lawyer, accusing bro of threatening him and assaulting him. Right in front of my recording phone.
Well the video was probably unnecessary since there was already that surveillance camera and blackbox, but you CAN be fined for verbal abuse and/or sued
.
Unlucky for him, the only thing recorded on my phone was HIM cursing and throwing threats. I showed that to the cops who came to investigate the scene, and he probably got into some shit.
While the guy was shitting his lungs off, people who lived in the neighborhood got pissed off at the disturbance and tried to shut him up to no avail.
A man in his 70's tried reasoning with him, but the guy threw insults and him, too. So much for showing respect to your elders.
From what I've heard, even after the insurance companies took care of everything and I went back to the restaurant that I work at, the guy actually got into a fist fight, caused some property damage and fled the scene. His life is probably over now, there's no doubt that he lost his job, got sued, and is awaiting trial.
i'd love to say tht this is it but just a couple of hours ago, someone set fire to our scooters and I no longer have one to deliver pizza with.
I wonder who.
