I was on my way home after breakfast with some friends on Sunday and had to queue up behind a long line of cars on a busy intersection and some guy who was driving a Wira aeroback did not notice everyone have stopped and ran right into my butt.
The 'good' thing was he wasn't going fast and he had beforehand got on the brakes and scrubbed off some speed before rear-ending my car.
My initial thought was it's going to be a mess. But when I got out to inspect, my only damage was a slightly scratched rear bumper and one of the licence plate lights in the bumper had popped out of its socket. Other than that, the car is fine.
On the other hand, the Wira's nose is crumpled. Not significantly, but very noticeable. I told him to pop the hood and check his radiator but the hood is stuck from the damage. He apologized and everything is cool.
Makes me wonder....is a Hyundai Coupe that strong or is a Wira that weak ?
Guys...a reminder....when you drive, don't just look at the car immediately in front of you. Try to look far ahead and be aware what the traffic is doing. You are less likely to be surprised if you look far ahead. It's an obvious thing to say but you'd be surprised how often people do not do this (including me). We drive along and sooner or later our mind starts to drift and daydream.
