It was not 'MY' fault!
And all those words describing oneself here is definitely not me.
Those I, me, mine, my, etc lah are all referring to a particular stubborn person who has the cheek to say I'm(This I'm refers to me, Ivan) stubborn.
1st, let me present to U my proud artwork I took 20mins to create!
Then, I think you have to click on this pic to see a LARGER & CLEARER version!
What I'm going to report to you readers next seem unbelievable.
However, these 4 accidents were being encountered by the same driver in just 1 year.
The car in crime is being represented by a blue box.
Ok, let's look at the 1st accident, which was the most minor of all.
This driver was reversing into a parking lot & scratch the back left bumper of the car against the yellow standing posts in the picture.
The driver's defending statement, "IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! I didn't see the standing post!"
Damage to the car:- 2 deep scratch on the left bumper.
2nd accident:-
The brown rectangle you see represents a lorry coming from the expressway.
The little yellow circle is it's intention to turn into the left lane of THE EXPRESSWAY.
On seeing the left signal, blue car's owner happily proceed to turn out of the small ONE WAY road.
Of coz, as you can see, the final result was the lorry crashed right into the blue car.
The driver's defending statement, "IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! The driver signalled left, I THOUGHT he was turning into the small road I was in."
Note:- Even after the service centre customer representative took out a map to show the driver that it's a ONE WAY road(though it has 2 lanes), the driver INSISTS, "I'm 100% sure it's a 2 way roads where he can turn in!"
Damage to the car:- Driver's door completely dented, glasses of driver's door shattered all over, windscreen smashed, part of bonnet body dented too.
3rd accident:-
The orange box is a mini P-Plate van drove by a 21yr old poor guy who just got his license.
It was 4am in the morning. This blue car driver, (God knows where the driver and the passenger friend were heading to at this hour) stopped in the middle of the road because the passenger friend said they make a wrong turn.
Along came this mini van who didn't expect some funny driver to stop in the middle of the road with no hazard lights on or a breakdown sign(coz it was not a breakdown case in the 1st place) crashed straight into the blue car's rear bumper.
The driver's defending statement to family members, "IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! Who asked the mini van driver to drive that fast?"
When the driver was at the service centre to claim against the mini van's insurance, the statement was, "IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! I was slowing down as I exit the expressway and all of a sudden this van came crashing into me."
Damage to the car:- Rear bumper of car smashed/dented.
4th accident:-
Turning on slope in multi storey carpark, wrong estimation and scratched against wall of carpark.
The driver's defending statement, "IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! The carpark is too small!"
Damage to the car:- Back left passenger's door & half of front left passenger's door smashed/dented.
Conclusion of what I wanted to tell my readers after putting in so much effort in drawing & narrating the accident details.
Morale of the stories:-
1) YOU THOUGHT, I think, who confirmed?
2) Never ASSUME, coz you would just make an ASS out of U & ME!
3) Just because you said sorry, doesn't mean things can be solved.
4) You may have said sorry, because you have to when you did something wrong. BUT it doesn't mean that people HAVE to forgive you.
5) Most important morale is, "Forgive if you really can, but NEVER FORGET!"
P/S: These narrations of the stories may only have 70% accuracy in how the blue car got involved in the accidents coz I was not in the car when it all happened. I merely listen to the story of the blue car's driver. However, all the damages reported are 100% correct, coz I've seen them with my eyes after each accident.
