The Miami Zombie

We all know the movie Resident Evil. In case you didn't know the movie, Resident Evil is about ZOMBIES. The dead walking in the street biting and infecting others. Those who were bitten will be infected with a virus and sooner or later become a zombie.

Anyway that's for the short introduction. A few days back, in Miami, someone committed a zombie like act by chewing onto another man's face. It has been reported that the man's face was bitten off and it's beyond recognition. Three quarter of the face is now gone and currently in the ICU in critical condition.

The man, Rudy Eugene, was ordered to stop the act by a police officer, but ended up the police officer was being threaten. The man look at the police officer with a fierce look.

The scene was reported as chaotic and bloody. Many eye witness relate this incident as bloody and disgusting. Some eye witness was traumatize by the incident and was afraid of walking on the street, fearing that they will be the next victim.

Rudy Eugene was on a drug called "bath salt". This is a very powerful drug that will cause the person using the drug to have an extremely high body temperature and that explains why the man, Rudy Eugene was naked in the scene. Current investigation still have no clue on what provoked this bizarre and savage attack and the investigation is still on going.

A video of the news report in Miami (LIVE) has been floating around in the web.

 

Now ZOMBIES are around us, if you happen to walk on the street, please take "EXTRA" care and look out for suspected character and people behaving in an unusual manner.

Things to do when involved in a traffic accident

Untitled Document
What to do at the accident scene

After involved in a traffic accident on 17 May 2012 and some bad experience with the person that hit onto my car. I would like to share my experience with you so when you are involved in a traffic accident (When someone bump onto your car).

Here are some of the things to take note of when you involved in an accident with a local registered vehicle and you WANT to claim the party for the cost of repair due to the damage incurred.
  1. DO NOT MOVE your vehicle. Get off your car STRAIGHT AWAY and take a photo of the accident scene. REMEMBER: You must try to take a photo that can be of evidence that it is the other party BUMP onto you. DO NOT focus on taking photo of the damage! YOUR MAIN AIM is to take a photo that can prove that you are NOT AT FAULT.

  2. If the person admit that it is his or her fault, get a piece of paper and a pen to ask that person to write down and SIGN. (This was advised by my insurance agent)

  3. INSIST on getting the person personal details. (DO NOT care what the other party says just INSIST)
    1. NRIC Number
    2. Mobile Number
    3. Full Name
    4. Insurance Company

  4. Report the accident to IDAC (Accident Reporting Center) within 24 hours. You will be asked to sketch and write a report. Be as detailed as possible.

  5. The other party will also need to make a report within 24 hours. This is optional. You can contact GIA to buy the other party report. GIA Hotline is 6221-8788 or 6221-8789. After you buy the report, you will know what the other party reported.

  6. Your insurance company will be informed of the incident. You will have to wait for your insurance company to contact you whether your 3rd party claim is successful or not.
* I suggest that you print out a copy of the above steps and place it inside your car. It will serve as a guideline and reminder to you when you really involved in a traffic accident.


CONCLUSION

DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT flare up and scold the party. This will put you in a difficult position if the other party make a police report. This is being charged as "ROAD Bully" and you may be jailed.

Remember, your main purpose of taking photos and/or videos is to prove that you are not the party that caused the accident. Why I say so? The reason is simple. 95% of time, the party that caused the accident WILL NOT admit his fault. The other party will probably distort the information during his visit to the Accident Reporting Center when he report about the accident.

Therefore, the purpose of the photo and/or video is for the insurance company to see the REAL CAUSE and not base on both parties reports.

Although I CANNOT GUARANTEE that your 3rd party claim can be successful, it is always better to be safe than to be sorry.

I hope this post can be of great help all drivers out there. Especially, those who just recently gotten the license. You are new to the road and there are a lot of people to bully you on the road.
