Accident. First accident in my life.


Balik kolej, eksiden. I swore kereta tu yg problem sbb suddenly cannot be controlled & berputar sedangkan saya tak pusing stereng sbb tgh jalan lurus exit dari highway. I almost hit the lamp post which if I did, I couldnt even think of the outcome. Living n breathing would be a question here, let alone the car itself. Masa kereta tu dah berpusing 180 degree tapi tengah meluncur uncontrolled, sempat pandang ke kiri ke arah tiang dan divider tu. Masa tu, terdetik dalam hati 'Ya Allah, aku redha andai ini pengakhiran' and then after that I just closed both eyes and lost count of time. A loud bump heard, then the car stopped in the middle of the opposite road. Yes the other side of road. Miraculously avoided the That time only I got out of the car, glanced once to see other cars stopped not so far, and checked the damaged. The policemen who attended me advised to cancel the towing service as the damage seemingly only on both left front n back tyres only,  and they can help change to spare tyre so that I could drive to the tyre shop.





And some more, because I was on my afternoon duty so I couldnt take the car directly to the Perodua centre. After incident I went to work & left my car one night at tyre shop. The shop worker called me & inform of the damage sustained by the car other than the tyres. The next morning I went to take it to police station to male report n straightaway went to work. The next day then I brought it to M. Austin Perodua Centre to require info regarding insurance claim but they only do servicing & need to bring my car to other branch service centre. However they did help me to inspect my car and explained the damage, and even listed me the equipment n it cost properly, good job to them. After that i went to work. Another next day which is the 4th day, I brought my car to the Tampoi Perodua Centre. The staffs treatment was friendly however they kept giving me ridiculous excuse not to claim insurance, saying needs month, a lot of hassles, should have immediately sent the car to repair centre,  need to leave the car and all until I decided to use cash that I dont even have. I. didnt have much time here in JB, only a month or so before I go back to KL for good. They even bullshitly listed the price of the items about 300-400 more expensive than actual cost, until I showed them the list. Their own cost at their own website. How could a person do this to others. Sigh.

I was lucky that that very day, when I was working, eventhough I knew my account bank balance was almost negative (i just withdraw its very last ringgit I had in the very morning), to find out that there was RM1200+ been returned to me from the tax balance. Thank god, I didnt expect this at all. At least it can help me cover the repair cost. Alhamdulillah.

Anyway, the past is past. But moral of the story:

1) If you're just had accident, stay calm.
2) Get some help to move your vehicle the side of the road as it is dangerous to stay in the middle.
3) Call tow truck from your vehicle service centre or the insurance company towing service to nearby workshop. All is free except the repair cost. Let the workshop inspect your vehicle totally from any damage, then after that you can decide whether to claim insurance or not.
4) Make sure to take pictures of damage side as much as you can.
5) Make police report within 24 hours. Then can proceed with the insurance claim process.
