This morning, my car was fairly badly damaged in the parking lot outside my flat, by a lady driver who is still learning how to drive.
She claims that she is still unfamiliar with her automatic gear shift and while intending to hit the brakes, hit the acceleration pedal instead.
I felt sorry for her as I directed her car onto a safe parking.
She surely is still a learner, with a young family.
Why does she risk her life and the lives of her young babies, by driving out onto our mad roads, when she is still not yet competent, and does not carry a Learner's sign on her car.
Well, remembering the need for collecting evidence, I took a few photos of the accident scene with my camera, just in case her remorse turns into denial in the fullness of time.
Meantime, as my car was grounded and not insured, I may have to look for money to repair the hideous damage, that is unless she agrees to do it for me. She better, or I shall most certainly sue her to recover my loss.
