More 'basic'.

The policeman has the final say.
If a local hits you, its your fault.
If you hit a local, its your fault.
If you are Indian and you hit anyone, its your fault.

We call it 'The Wheel Souk' and not everything that glitters is chrome. Buyer Beware!

You guys are just jealous! bleh. :x

I meant company driver of course. He's driving a car (not a Sunny fyi) and not a minibus, and I'm the only one he drives to and from the office that's why I said "my" driver. There.

Both :D

Uhmm kidding...I've had a couple of accidents, both my fault and both times I hit an Indian. Not to mention both times I was half asleep. I took responsibility. One time it was in the middle of a roundabout and I told the guy to move his car cause he's causing a lot of traffic and people were getting pissed. He wouldn't cause he was scared he would be blamed somehow. I told him I'm takign responsibility so it doesn't matter, and that the police will be pissed. He didn't listen and needless to say, the policeman was pissed :P So yeah move your damn car if you are in the middle of the fricken road!!! We know you had an accident, but if you can drive it, move it!! That's all oO

^yeah, true.

As a pedestrian, I once tried to cross in a corner street (within a zebra crossing of course) when suddenly out of nowhere (it happens all the time, you look once- all clear, then when you look again there's a vehicle about to hit you), two cars are coming straight at me. It seems they're trying to compete on who can hit me first. Unfortunately they hit each other. Haha! m$#$%ers!

Or maybe wish he is a very nice person.

A person I know was gifted the S-class that scratched his Accord, because Mr S-class didn't want to drive a car that had been scratched anymore (paperwork left to assistants!)

I'm still hoping someone with a Cayenne does the same for me!

Now why would you want to own a Cayenne? Its a VW Toe-Rag in disguise! Mate had one for about 2 weeks and gave it back. Distasteful, horrid Kubelwagen!
