Taxi just reversed into my TF. Not a scratch on my side...

... can't say the same about the taxi.



This happened about 15 minutes ago. I was looking for parking in a shopping mall, and was waiting for a taxi to clear the road - he was reversing from his parking spot. I thought he would see me behind him, as you know, a logical person would look behind while reversing... but he didn't, and even while I hooted he didn't care to look back. He only stopped when he heard the KHKGKHKGK noise that our cars made when he backed into my front-right.



My heart really sank. These cars aren't as cheap in South Africa as they are in the UK, and I've wanted a TF all my life. I've just been with it for 1.5 years at this point in time.



I exited the car, promising to myself not to kill the taxi driver. I looked at his rear bumper and I saw a huge chunk of red paint falling off. I looked back to mine... not a scratch. I couldn't believe my eyes.



The taxi driver couldn't speak, he was really shaken up, he didn't even have insurance (not compulsory over here... perhaps it should be). My car didn't even have a loose part, it was as if the accident never even happened. In the end, it was me consoling the taxi driver.



From now on, I'm not trusting anyone on the road. Everyone is a potential idiot.
