More on the Hyundai car crash episode

I thought I should share the police certificate on the car crash. Here it is, in pdf form. If you drive a vehicle and haven't seen a certificate from police to claim insurance after an accident (involving no injury, because if someone is injured, an FIR is registered).



Given the credibility of the enforcement mechanism of India's Motor Vehicles Act rules, the rash, negligent and arrogant driver of this car will not pay any penalty, other than the palm greasing that he did on the day of the accident. What is worse, he quickly sought the help of a off-duty constable to plead his case with me, urging that I should only ask for insurance money, and not file an FIR which would lead to a police investigation. Helps everybody, doesn't it? So Ravi can drive another of these cars stupidly and crash into another guy like me. Anyway, companies like Hyundai are there to bail out such untrained drivers who are employed practically as manservants in the house of the executives
