Yesterday evening, I was involved in a hit and run accident while driving back home. A car of the brand Mazda 3 was dangerously overtaking a long queue of vehicles trapped in a traffic jam when it tried to make its way into the lane while reaching my car. At the same time, another car was coming in the opposite direction. Both cars were hit and the traffic came to a halt.
The driver causing the accident looked similar to a thug, just like his front seat passenger. Wearing big heavy jewellery (neck chains and earings), they appeared to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. At the back seat, a woman was seated and was even more excited than everyone else while I was trying to negociate the next step. They tried to handle a Rs1000 note to me, which I refused immediately and the public there got a free demonstration of their swearing presentation. I gave them the choice : Either “Constat à l’amiable” or we call the police. Meanwhile, I marked the position of the cars with my yellow chalk and I parked the vehicle on the sideroad.

Just at that moment, I waived for help to a police van on patrol. On noticing that action, the said accused car drove away at full speed. The police van immediately switched on its siren and chased the car down the streets. Together with the other driver, I went to the nearest police station (Abercombie) to report the accident.
The police vehicle returned back after some 15minutes. One of the police officers was bleeding from a large cut in his hand. While being held by a traffic jam, the two police officers surrendered the car and the driver drove into them. The younger police officer got hurt in the action and he was driven to the hospital where 10 points de souture (stitches) were needed.

Minutes after, first reports arrived. With the help of CCTV cameras, the car was located in a garage in Vallée Pitot. Police support was requested from Plaine Verte and 1 hour later, the car was seized. The driver was nowhere to be found while the owner denied any implications. The car was brought to the Abercombie Police Station later and a lawyer called to inform that the “driver” is coming to surrender himself.

Some time afterwards, a drugged guy presented himself as the driver. I denied him as being the driver as he was only in the passenger seat. The police gave him warnings and after consulting his lawyer, the guy went away. As per information gathered, the driver is a hawker, operating in mafia-like gangs. He was driving the car of his mother.

I left the police station shortly after 2030hrs. Nearly 4 hours were needed to get hold of the car, write the statements and identify the driver. Additionally, I did my first alcohol test, which of course, showed 0 in the indicator. (psst : Unfortunately, I was not allowed to take a picture while doing this, lol. I asked them) Reminder : I need to fetch my car later today, hopefully.
Congrats, I made myself new ennemies in this new episode of NFS Hot pursuit or Grand Theft Auto – San Andreas.

That’s the job of the police. And since a police officer got hurt while doing the job, the case going to be very serious, probably a charge of “Attempt to murder” on the driver.
I love it when things like that happen to me 🙂

Yashvin…mo penser to bisin fer bien attention aster, vue ki d’apres to description li paret wadir pe gagne zafer ek ban “bouncer” ou “mafia”. D’ailleurs li pa dificile pou trace toi, vue ki to populaire sur le web et Google li suffit pou gagne ban details precis et claire. Donc, to bisin etre vigilant et prudent parceki zot kapav attack twa a nimporte qui moment dans l’absence la force policiere. Mo pas souhaite sa, mais c’est juste ene conseil. 🙂 Zot kapav veye toi. La chose la plus importante c’est ki to ban blesser. Dieu merci! 🙂
Concernant sa zafer ki ene policier fine blesser sur le lieu de travail, et surtout ki sa chauffeur la fine completement ignore signale ene policier (failure to listen to officer on duty), ek lorla ki policier la fine bisin ale soigner lopital kot li ene blessure assez serieux ki pou kit ene cicatrice tout long so lavie puiske li ene “large cut”, et li pou rapel sa pou fer li rapel sa, mwesperer ki justice soit fait et ki ene punition bien bien severe etre doner.

Ahem… Had a similar experience (refusal to sign a “constat à l’amiable”) with a bouncer, but he was on a motrocycle and alone, and I managed to persuade him to accept his fault some hours later. But as far as I have read, your our case is way more complicated: dangerous / reckless driving, excessive overtaking, bribery or abbetting / aiding to commit a larceny / forgery (fooling an insurance with Rs1,000: he’s very naive, to say the least), failure to report an accident, refusal to obey a police officer’s instructions, attempt at murder, wounds and blows to a police officer, and what not that your lawyer would relish in piling up upon him…
But don’t fear much: if he didn’t have guts to face the police, if he showed his lack of balls to show up at the police station and had to hire that passenger bloke to make a desperate attempt at fooling you and the police, do you think he’ll have any balls left to come and scan for you in your neighbourhood / workplace to run the risk someone spotting him? Just as precaution, I’d recommend that you keep some rat glue at hand, if ever (touch wood, and whatever superstitious object Pramod may find most effective) that thug comes around: the smell (stench is a much better word here, I guess) of rat glue is perfect as tracer for sniffer-dogs to follow. And believe me, you’ll enjoy the way dog handlers “guide” police dogs unto their targets here in Dodoland…
I cannot comment on your way of handling it, like Mike said, keeping your cool from start to finish, because I think I prefer answering tit for tat. Especially when things escalate to verbal abuse when I ‘m behind the wheel, somehow I can’t control my temper. But I’m the complete opposite at home and at work: clinical in analysis and slow to take decisions. It must be something about the masks we wear for each circumstance…
Final word: for once, the police reacted promptly to a serious situation, and deserves my applause. For once. But how many pettier things get condoned and forgotten everyday which ultimately breed in everyone else a sense of impunity resulting in what we have now: reckless people who don’t even fear driving into them…?
Naughty question: who’s that guy parading with his uber-cool multicolor / technicolor surf shorts, yellow/orange shirt and savatt-léponz in almost all pictures? Is that Mr Cool? 🙂
Bonus question: now, thanks to you and your sense of duty to report, all drivers know that the black Mazda 3 S1163 is to be shunned, can you now please, for the sake of completeness and information to all of your devoted
fanreader base, give the name of the offender’s lawyer? Please?LikeLike

Do not leave this issue unresolved. Follow closely the case and blog any mishandling you notice. Some people do not accept their fault on the road even fully aware of their blunder committed as if the road is for their mother’s Galxx. Unfortunately I have been involved in similar issue and amazingly you are very right the lady sitting behind seemed to be much excited than all… I wonder if the can get undressed also in situations like that.
