So the story goes like this:
An uneventful Wednesday afternoon, only to be marred by the stupidest, silliest and costliest accident I've ever had and also my virgin accident with this car.....
I was fetching my friend back home and he sat beside me with his sling bag across his chest. Pulling out of the car park, I did a left turn and headed down the stretch of road along NTU that was opposite SIMtech and I reminded him to put on his seatbelt as the seatbelt warning sign was beeping.
Me: Chuck your bag to the rear seat
Him: Ok
And he turned around to place his crumpler sling bag on my rear seat. I noticed that my Camera was sitting on the left side of the rear seat thus I slowed down and turned around telling him to watch out. It was then, in a spate of loss concentration and obliviousness, my left wheel mounted the kerb.
Swinging the steering wheel back and braking didn't do much help since the car was in a slanted position and sure enough, WHAM! I hit the lamp post.
I estimated the impact to be around 20km/h since I could see it all happen pretty clearly....Asked if my friend was alright as he was grabbing on to the seatbelt and his head hit the windscreen.
No external injuries but a slight concussion and abit of a headache (that idiot was still posing for photos with the car 20 mins after the accident when bystanders took photo of it....)
Anyway, I would say this is all my fault for not paying attention to the road and i was lucky since there were no cars or jay walkers at that time of the incident...Hope bros out there can be careful.
Saved a 4k camera and incurred a 30K~40K repair fee.....Plus increased insurance premium....zzz.....
The Aftermath...
The Aftermath take 2
Goodjob, lamppost shifted by 4inches off its base and I'll be paying the school for it...
Front suspension, lamp, side panel, steering joint, wheel, left impact bar, radiator piping, compressor.........GONE! estimated repair cost: 30k to 40k....
My friend's incredibly hard head.....Tie3 Tou2 Gong1
