Taxi wallas will most prolly not pay.
Mom's m800 was (three years ago) slammed from the rear by a bus, reducing the R side doors to junk. It was merging traffic, and the bus wala had jumped a red light - couldnt brake in time to avoid mom's car. In front of a PCR van standing right there, that driver instead of braking to a stop, tried to floor the pedal and pushed the m800, which was now perpendicular to the road, for about 20 feet, till a police walla got into the bus and snatched the keys.
After an accident like that, you'd expect some decency? No way. The bus owner calmly said that lock up the driver and impound the bus - I will get it out in two days flat, threatening publicly in the thana itself. We swallowed our indignation and resorted to insurance - playing with pigs, is playing dirty in their ground. Not for middle class college teachers like my mom :( |
