LoL , typical clickbait kind of title?

So I just had two car accidents within a month, and I filed both incidents with the traffic police and won both cases. I guess I’m good to share some of my experience here.

  1. Be careful, be careful, and really be careful when you’re driving on the street. In both cases, I followed all the SOPS, signalled when trying to make my turn, and reversed parked with my light on, yet accidents still happened.

  2. A dashcam for the car is a must if you’re driving; it’s really an important evidence if anything happens.

  3. Remember to check the videos for the front and the back. After my first accident, I found out that my back camera was recording the sky view. After fixing the position and recording the back correctly, it helped in my second accident.

  4. Prepare for the worst and make the police report to secure yourself. For example, in the second case, the guy actually filed the report earlier than me and claimed that I was the one who hit him. Imagine if I hadn’t filed the report; I could have got into a lot of trouble.

  5. Accept that everyone will think that they are right. In both cases, the guys thought that they were right and that I was the one making the mistake; luckily, the traffic police officer cleared it up for me.
