5 months ago, i had an accident. To be exact it was on the 26 of July 2009. Details here.

After that, i went to the police station a few times, had a few “discussion” with the police who is in charge of my case. Not really a discussion actually, more towards on he pointing to me how i’m wrong, where i’m wrong no matter what i explained, mentioned, said, talked, sang and etc. Ya, conclusion from the police happens to be that i am wrong and its all my fault.

My Story on Police Report:

At Approximately 3.20am on 26/07/09, i was driving my car reg. no XXXXXXX on a one way road, Jalan 19/7A and signalled right to turn into the road, Jalan Sri Hartamas 22. Before i am able to turn right, there was this car reg.no XXXXXXX which came up from behind on the same road, Jalan 19/70A ramming the right side of my car reg no. XXXXXXX. The damage to my car is as follow, right hand side of the car especially the right front door and right back door and other damage not known yet.

The other driver’s story on Police Report:

Pada 26/07/09 jam lebih kurang 0300 hrs saya memandu sebuah kereta no XXXXXXX dari damansara menuju ke segambut. Semasa saya melalui hartamas pada wakti itu sebuah kereta no XXXXXXX yang berada di hadapan saya bergerak terlalu perlahan dan saya telah memberi isyarat untuk memintas kenderaan tersebut. Dalam waktu saya mula bergerak dan masuk ke lorong bersebelahan tiba tiba kenderaan tersebut tanpa memberi sebarang isyarat terus membelok dan saya pada sebelah kanan kenderaan tersebut dan dalan masa yang sama kenderaan saya menuju ke kanan dan terlanggar pembahagi jalan dan pokok yang berada di situ. Dalam kejadian ini saya mengalami kecederaan pada bahagian kepala. Kerosakan kereta saya pada bahagian depan bumper, bonet, lampu manakala bahagian kiri kanan pintu depan belakang, m/guard dan lain lain kerosakan belum dipastikan lagi.

A Saman was issued me and of course if i choose not to pay i’ll to go to court.

….and i went to the court instead of paying like perhaps RM150 if i beg them to decrease the payment as i’m a first timer in such an accident.

It’s the second time i was in court this morning. During the first time which is like 3 months ago, i only have to state out my stand, where i can choose to admit whether i’m at fault and pay (yes another chance of paying the money and settle the case) or not to admit where they will set another date for trial. I didn’t want to admit i’m wrong because i wasn’t!

Entering the courtroom for the 2nd time, the clock ticking and i was refreshing all the details in my mind, with the pictures taken and such. When my name was called i went up front facing the judge.

There and then i got a lawyer crash course by the judge herself telling me what to do and i have to act as though i’m a lawyer questioning the witness in this case and summarize the whole thing stating out vital points that might weaken the witness’s statement.

I was like. WHOA! then… DIE!!! How on earth can i do so. Had a map on my hand with a few pictures taken which is not even labeled and i only have one copy!

It was all in this manner because i choose to defend myself and not hire a lawyer wtf so i need to be knowledgeable, talk, act, question, seek for points “like” a lawyer as well. Gah.


*i was on this arrow turning in and a car rammed into the right side of my car that time.

Soon, everything started to get funny, the police in charge of my case came out as witness. He was declaring and i was busy doing my documentations as i know nuts about all this, yes i’m as stupid as that.

Then, some dates on one of the documents provided was written/printed wrongly, the judge questioned that how can one of the most important thing in a document that is brought to court could have a date written/printed wrongly.

She then called for a short break and i went like O.O. What happen?

Short break ended and the hearing was resumed, then the next thing i know…

The police side dropped their charge against me because of the error in the date.

!!!

Like that also can ah? End liao?

Map of the road by the police after he investigate the place of accident.

A : TEPI SEBELAH KIRI JALAN

B : GARISAN PUTIH PUTUS PUTUS PEMBAHAGI ARAH

C : TEPI SEBELAH KANAN JALAN

I was already preparing my questions to ask the police who is the witness against me.

One of the question will be KAMU PASTI GARISAN KAT JALAN TERSEBUT IALAH GARISAN PUTIH PUTUS PUTUS PEMBAHAGI ARAH? then i’ll show him the pictures above.

ITS DOUBLE LINE DAMN IT!!! A WHOLE STRETCH OF IT SOME MORE!!

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT A CAR OVERTAKING ME AT THAT LANE IS A RIGHT THING AND CHARGE ME FOR KESALAHAN MEGUBAH HALUAN WHEN AT THE FIRST PLACE A CAR IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE AT THAT LANE AT ALL BECAUSE ITS AGAINST THE LAW WHERE I WAS JUST FOLLOWING THE LAW BEING AT THE RIGHT LANE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN!!

Furthermore, when i was “discussing” with the police, he said that the car wanted to turn right into the same road as i was turning into and kept insisting from start till end that i’m wrong giving me that annoyed look like asking me to stop arguing on the facts already and just leave!

If you did read what the other driver stated in his police report which i retyped out above, you will see this “saya telah memberi isyarat untuk memintas kenderaan tersebut“.

Orang cakap memintas kereta i you beritau i dia mau masuk kanan!

Berkhidmat Untuk Negara. Yah Man! Awesome lah.

The other driver also another one, just take the left most lane lah, why wana be so lanci overtake a car in front when there’s one big lane on the left to head straight!

I’ll leave it up to you people who reads my blog to imagine and think what really happen then. Note that the police is not a noob definitely as he have been in the force for 32 years.

I was so proud being a Malaysian for just that few seconds when i saw Malaysia being mentioned in the museum of Old Trafford stadium. Just that few seconds. Sigh.

Wawasan 2020, Malaysia Boleh, 1 Malaysia?

So, all of this ended because of a date printed/written wrongly on a document. Charge on me withdrawn. Perhaps many of you would say that i’m lucky but then i don’t know. Seriously, it’s pretty funny on how it ended. A bit weird as well.

FML? Maybe not.

Yet.
