Approximately 5 hours ago i was sitting in my mom's Toyota Innova on LDP highway. Everything was as smooth as usual until an external force hit the car's rear all out of sudden. Furiously looked backwards, it was a black Proton Wira. Parked their cars beside the road, the drivers and passengers came out to do what should be done. Fortunately the driver was a 25 year old gentleman who knew the situation and settled everything rationally. After discussing and exchanging information, both parties went back on the road.
Whats so unusual about this incident were:
1) the accident
When the Wira banged into our car the impact was huge and the crashing sound was deafening. We got out from our car and saw the Wira's hood folded like origami rice paper.
To our horror we turned backwards and looked at our car's rear.
Despite some scratches and 2 perfectly balanced crash mark at the bottom of the bumper (which in my opinion it enhanced the design of the bumper), there were no other damages.
Conclusion: i will never buy any Proton cars. It's not the matter of money but the importance of one's safety. I believe one's life worth more than that 30k difference to get a much safer car.
2) after the accident
For the first time in 17 years and 9 months of my life, my mother did not turn furious after a car crash, instead a huge smile hung on her face for the rest of the journey.
According to her, this morning she was thinking of repainting the car and changing new car lamp covers. Since the crash only dropped some paints and artistically bent the bumper, she thought of using the money paid back by the guy to fulfill her dream. To my mother this incident was like an answering from sky.
Conclusion: the world's end is near.
