Crashed My Dad's Toyota VIOS
It was just another Sunday, whereby I was told by my dad to drive using his vehicle. The idea was that he wanted me to send him to his friend's place. Also, he wanted me to have more actual driving experience on the road.
Scenario:
The stationary taxi was in front of me. I was driving at around 30~40 km/h, when I saw the taxi, I signaled left, wanting to filter to my left. I glance my left mirror, saw a black car driving to the lane that I wanted to filter. Without slowing down. I turned to look at my blind spot, saw the car drive past, look back to the front, I was already so near to the taxi in front. Although I stepped brake, damage was already done.
In the end, I settled everything without claiming insurance. I paid around $1k plus for repairs of both car. Anyway, it would have cost the same if I claimed insurance.
Lesson learn: Do not think that there is a experience driver beside you, you can drive with less attention. Drive safely and keep alert at all times.
