So you think the truth will always prevail? You tell me that justice is impartial and is always fair. Is it just me or why is it that I think that it just a farce, just created to pacify a crying child. It is never fair. Justice is blind, deaf, mute, dumb and everything in between.
So, there I was, driving like a good guy, crossing the junction after ensuring that the road is clear. In fact, the cars at the T-junction waited for me to cross. Out of nowhere, comes a motorcyclist weaving through the traffic in between cars to crash directly to the side of my car. No warning, no honk, just like that, like a death wish.
And there I was trying to help him out to be up on his feet. Somehow, I felt the whole accident was staged. Out of nowhere, people appeared to the site offering various services - towing, insurance claims and unwarranted less than 2cents' worth of opinions.
And when, I, as a diligent citizen, made my police report, I was told that I was not totally off the hook. After listening out my story, the investigating officer suggested it was my duty too to ensure that nobody comes my way when I drive!
I was there, I know what happened!
And my father tells me of a civil court case where the presiding judge decreed that in a case of an accident at a junction, even if the traffic light is green on his side, the onus is still on the driver to ensure that there was no oncoming vehicle. What a load of crap? The law is blind alright!
