It is a different matter that my dad knew a few people including the police.įear factor playing truant on the mind, we wish to escape from the situation either by paying up or scooting. Once the mob understand that you cannot be threatened they will back off and leave.

It is very important to stand your ground and at least act like you know the big guns. Inform the police and get a statement registered. The damage: 50Rs for getting the kid treated and a misaligned bumper on my car.įirst take care of the victims, tell all the third party people who are not related to the incident to bugger off. We reported to the incident at the nearest police station and got a statement recorded. We took the kid to the nearby clinic and got him treated. Luckily few of the shopkeepers on that road had witnessed the incident and supported us. We stood our ground and told them to bugger off as it was not our fault and offered to take the kid to the hospital. Fortunately the kid was fine, except for a few road rash on his hand and legs.Īs usual the mob gathered around and started to ask for compensation. My dad and I got out of the car and took the kid to the side. Had to brake hard and the car stopped within a short distance but still did hit the kid and flung him atleast 2 meters onto the road. Suddenly a small kid who was playing with a tyre came in front of my car from the left side. I was aware of this fact and was driving cautiously at 30kmph. We were passing through a small town which is notorious for ill mannered pedestrians. I was driving with my dad and granddad to my native in our car. This incident happened when I was 18 and just got my driving license. Safe motoring to all and wish that we never come across such unpleasant situations any more. But throughout the entire ordeal, maintain a pleasant but strong personality. Believe me, you will receive a couple of calls telling that the victims! need more money due to some more medical complications. Remember to take a copy of the prescription by the doctor with you. Simply give your mobile no to them and move fast from the hospital. This way, even your conscience is clear, you have done your responsibility, but never agree for any other monetary settlement.

So, it never is gonna be more than Rs.1,000. Mostly the victims! are gonna be given first-aid, dressing etc and in some cases a x-ray would be insisted upon. In any case, the total hospital bill will not run more than 500 to 600 rupees. Well, the only sensible and responsible thing to do in such case is (though mostly it is not our fault), when a mob gathers tell them very clearly and strongly that you are willing to take the victim!/victims! to a nearby hospital and do so. Have encountered a few similar situations on my own. Hi All, a very interesting and useful topic.
