Hit by a Taxi

Hit by a Taxi two weeks ago. I am in his blind spot and suddenly he decieded to right, his front tyre rub the left hand side of my car from front wheel to the rear and even bend the rear supension as well.

Sorry about the bad iphone photos

It take at least five weeks to repair. Mostly waiting for the parts.

Jeffield hope you feels better after you see mine.

I am not have much luck with this car.

When I pick up my car there were two deep paint chips on the right front door, the dealer use some touch up paint to cover it up which I did not see in the showroom when I pick the car up, not until two days later when I wash the car. So the door already have been re-spary.

Two months ago all five of my bolts on the left rear wheels broken off when I am driving hard in some winding roads in the mountain. I am very very lucky only some minor panel damage on the left rear, but the whole rear supension including the caliper need to be change, which the wheels shop cover for everything (Never never use any bolt make in Asia). It take 4 weeks to repair. Just after 4 weeks picking the car up this happend..

+1 The worst is get hit by cab driver. Unless they hit you from behind, if any other ways they were argue that is not their fault.

This happened late at night, lucky for me there was another car behind me.

Straight after the accident I ran to the car behind me an ask him to be my witness.
