Thanks all you guys for the advice and encouragement.
I will post some pics soon of the damage caused.
I drive a getz glx 1.3
Well what happened the first time was that I had parked to close to a wall and the next morning when I reversed I forgot to keep the wheel straight and the car reversed with a turn grazing its side against the wall. Lesson learnt: keep the steering wheel straight when parking or remember the position it was at before moving the car.
The second time I was trying to do a U turn on a crowded road at night. After looking cautiously at the oncoming traffic and in my rear view I began inching forward in half clutch on first gear when out of nowhere a cyclist decides to dart in front of me and I instead of hitting the brake hit the clutch first and his cycle made a nasty scratch under my right headlight. What if I had hit the accelerator? I would have run him over
Its that 'what if' thought that freaks me out. How the hell did I miss hitting the brakes
pics will be here this weekend... |
