Well, the damage done to my car wasn't a big deal. I don't think the repairs will cost much either. I might probably just leave it there - scars are sexy.
Time for some story-telling.

One beautiful night, I just picked up a friend in Kepong and was about to meet up with another at Bandar Sri Damansara. After I exited Maluri, I began to switch to the BSD lanes. When I've successfully switched to L3 (my entire car was in the lane), it only took a matter of seconds for the Sonata to hit me. It just popped out of nowhere. I'm guessing he didn't see me because I was in his blind spot. But he made a very, very fast turn and I couldn't brake in time. He even accelerated despite knowing that he hit me - I could see sparks or something like paint flying off my front right side. I was utterly stunned! It felt as though my car was heavily damaged.
So I flashed him with high beam and gave him a signal to pull over. We stopped somewhere in Aman Puri, away from busy traffic. The first thing I said to the driver when I stepped out of my car was "I want to settle this in a nice way". He was a middle aged 'cina apek'. He didn't seem to bother and went on to check the damage on my car first (knowing he was guilty). His car didn't seem to have any visible damage =/.
So I explained the situation and I told him his sudden turn caused the accident. He said I was wrong for switching into his lane. WHAT THE HELL? He came from L4! He said it was HIS lane and he didn't want me to switch into his lane. What kinda excuse is that!? Well, then perhaps he was initially at L3 but switched to L4 just when I entered L3 to overtake me (plausible).
It was obviously his mistake, whether he didn't see my car because I was in his blind spot or he wanted to overtake me to 'get his lane back'. I told him that and I asked for compensation for the repairs. He came up close to me and said
"PAY YOUR 67 AR PAY!? ..!.. " (translate directly to Cantonese and yes...he showed the middle finger at my face) and pushed me. He pushed my friend too when she tried to explain. I pulled him away and pushed him hard. I shouted at him and said "I came down here to negotiate in a nice way, not to let you
DIU DIU DIU. You want to
DIU , we talk at the police station". His mouth smelled like alcohol when he talked to me. He threatened to run me over and also asked for a fight. He was very drunk.
*Cut short*
We didn't make it to the police station. He just kept
DIU-ing and then got into his car and took off. I got into my car and floored the accelerator pedal. We chased him. He made a U-turn, I drifted through it at high speed =0. I DRIFTED! Guess all that adrenaline can really make us do things we've never done before. Anyway, he made it to the main roads and we lost him in a sea of cars.
Well, we went to the Kepong police station to make a report. They told us we had to go to the Kota Damansara branch because the accident site is in Selangor =/ ("efficient"). I didn't bother to do it. It was just minor damage after all.
If I happen to see his car again next time, I'll just give it a little BIG scratch. If he is in it, I will just show him ..!..
Well, this is why road rages always happen in Malaysia. With irresponsible drivers like that, even a proper negotiation can end up in a fight. So, please Malaysian drivers, talk nicely. Everything can be settled in a nice way. There is no need to
DIU others. It just makes things worse
AND ...
please think of a better excuse if you don't wanna admit it was your fault. No such thing as "my lane". Your father didn't buy it.
KJ.
