I learnt my lessons in a rather hard way. I was doing 70-80kmph on the Kokapet main road and a lady suddenly started to cross the road. There was a Fortuner in front of me and I saw the lady only after she crossed the Fortuner. I slammed on the brakes and steered to the right. My Beat hit the divider and toppled to the right side. After the car came to rest I took out the seat belt, switched off the ignition and came out via the front left door. I walked away unscathed, with negligible bruises on my right and left hands. The car was pushed back and we moved away within 5-10 mins and cleared the spot. No one was hurt. My buddies called a towing vehicle and the car was towed to our trusty garage.
Lessons I learnt were:
Repair cost has been estimated to be around 40-50k. We will mostly claim insurance. A pillar is still intact as per my mechanic, so we proceeded to go ahead. Thoughts on this will be appreciated.
Damage to car:
Drive safe peeps,
