5 Things that I picked up after having two accidents within a month

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

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.
