One Of A Kind Road Rage Incident Touches Netizen’s Heart
A one of a kind road rage incident touched the netizen’s heart because of the good-hearted motorist who shows an act of kindness towards a taxi driver.
Nowadays, road incident is one of the major traffic problems not only in the Philippines but also in different countries all over the world.
Motorists lacking discipline and short-tempered driver are usually involved in traffic altercations and road rage incident.
Recently, a Facebook user named Mikkie Belen has shared his actual encounter of a road rage incident with a taxi driver.
The slight road accident has caused damage to Belen’s luxurious vehicle, but the taxi driver was blaming and accusing him that it was his fault.
The motorist has decided to report the incident to the traffic enforcers who agreed that the collision was really the taxi driver’s fault.
The taxi driver suddenly admitted his mistakes and asked Belen if they could settle the issue, but the latter refused to do so.
Mikkie learned that both parties should pay P200 for a police report and he also found out that the driver has only P500.
Luckily, the good-hearted motorist forgets the issue and didn’t charge the taxi driver anymore. He also advised the driver to be extra careful next time.
Here is the full story:
“Typing this with teary eyes.
Today, I appreciated my blessings more. Kanina, normal day, usual traffic. All of a sudden I felt something hit my car and to my surpirse, binangga na pala ako ng taxi. I can’t even open my door kasi his car was blocking my entire door. And dagdag hassle was the extreme heat plus maraming mura and busina dun sa mga naabalang motorists, ang masaklap eh ako pa yung pinapalabas nyang mali. Right turn only yung road, nasa inner right lane ako, for some reason pinilit nya kong unahan, siguro namiscalculate nya kaya sya tumama. Instead of being apologetic, he seemed proud and parang ako pa yung may mali. Nagsigawan kami sa gitna ng traffic at sa ilalim ng init. That’s why I insisted sa traffic enforcer na I want the matter to be escalated sa police. And nung naexplain na ng police na sya ang mali, he suddenly changed his tone. He “partly” admitted his mistake. Pero sabi ko the damage has been done and nahassle narin kami pareho. And pag kukuha ka pala ng police report kailangan pa pala magbayad ng both parties ng 200 php. He told me “boss 500 nalang pera ko, baka pwedeng ipabuffing nalang natin yan” Syempre hindi ako pumayag kasi tanggal talaga paint, sabi ko tatawagan ko yung taxi company nya para sila sumagot. Yun pala, salary deduction parin pala sa kanya yun. Medyo naawa ako kay manong. But still yung pride ko and init ng ulo nangibabaw. But then how could I take this hard working man’s money. Majority satin bwiset sa mga taxi because the way they drive and sometimes treat passengers. Pero I can’t blame them kasi sometimes rushing is their only way to make ends meet. And when he told me na “lesson learned sakin ito“, that’s when I said na ok na lahat. Na next time ingat nalang para less hassle both parties. Yung hassle at oras na nasayang sa pag file ng report means late ako makakapagbreakfast, but for him, it is 2 hours lost income. If ever you encounter this situation/drivers, make them learn their lesson but please, if it won’t cost you an arm, wag nyo nang singilin. Parang tulong nyo nalang din. Kasi we’ll never know baka for some it’s just the hassle of using their “emergency money” but for these drivers it’s giving up a meal or two for their family.
If you know me well, you know how I love my cars; but this time I’m willing to drive around with a scratched car until I can save to have it fixed rather than taking this man’s money not knowing how much hard time it could cause him.
As my dad always say, we don’t need to have much, just enough to sustain ourselves and to help others kahit konti.
Count your blessings and be thankful for the little things.
PS. I didn’t post this to ask for pats on my back. I posted this because I believe that good deeds are contagious.”
