The Don's birthday was on Saturday 19th Nov. I had everything planned, present bought and everything one week in advance. The Friday 18th Nov was a normal day, well it was supposed to be, anyhow. We were in the car that morning, the Don sending me to work as he does evey morning. The traffic was heavy, not unusual in the early morning. At the slip road leading to Stevens Rd exit, traffic was start-stop so we were driving at dead-slow speed with frequent stops. On one such stop, The Don noticed thru the rear-view mirror that the lady behind us was holding up a piece of paper at her steering wheel. We then moved on and picked up speed. At the next stop a few seconds later, he noticed again from the mirror that the car behind us did not seem to slow down despite the fact that all the cars in front of us were at a complete stop and so were we. The Don pulled up his handbrake, just in case and true enough, she banged into the back of our Lancerlot for 3 consecutive times.
When we got out of the car we realised the back of lancerlot was wrecked beyond words. The Don was busy checking the damage to the car while I did the neceesary exchange of particulars. The lady was in a panic state but after talking to her husband ont he phone, she offered to settle the matter privately but seeing how there could be a possibility of an injury to both of us, we declined. I called our firm's workshop and within minutes, they took our car and gave us a replacement car to use in the meantime.
Anyhow, @ Alexandra hospital after the necesary x-rays and examination, we were given a few days MC with a appointment to see a specialist. I am used to handling road traffic accidents and acident-related injuries, it sure will be funny handling my own and the Don's. But you can be sure I won't let that lady off easy.
