Car Accident tax
You are always in a hurry - especially in Davao, where the
traffic is so slow. This is because of the new speed limit of 40 km / h , which
is completely pulled out by the taxis where a lot of the driver have already been sentenced to penalties. On the other hand there are the
"great hollow " roads that do not allow higher speed. So you obliged
to plan more time from the very beginning.
But if you have to drive to the airport and you're in a
traffic jam, then you feel the time
quite different, because the plane will not wait for you. So you have time to
think where to overtake now or later and left or right side – like the taxis
are doing it.
And then it happens that someone will slip from the brake
onto the gas pedal and you will be pushed in the backside of your car with a "Big
Boom!" . And then, something happens what people call "finding new friends ". So you turn signal light on, check the damage on both cars, explain to each other
that they are sorry, trembling on the arms to show how excited they are. Then they
exchanges addresses and cell phone numbers. As a special feature in Philippines
you take photos of the driver's license
, of the license plate and the vehicle papers. And they say to each other that they will call
each other and will discuss the
regulation of damages in the next few
days . With a handshake they will say goodbye to each other and regret again,
how sorry they are . And it has happened that the trembling driver has been invited to a drink beer in the
nearest pub.
Well, that's Davao and "new friends " are real
friends.
Best regards,
Ludwig from Davao
