for the first time......

.... a car accident
everything is now happening of course the first time. this noon it happen to be my first car accident. luckily it was not me driving, luckily nothing happend, and luckily the car was anyway damaged before.

i was driving around with my realestate- agent to see some houses (will write about this sometime later),. and he showed me the GABBA market, when suddently a young girl without looking crossed the street. we were not driving fast, and hit the breaks, but she stopped and falled down on the front heck. but she run away immeadiatley. no blood, no broken bones. Unfortunately by that time a police car - not a car , they are huge pickup trucks- passed 2 minutes later, and they picked up the girl and her relative. my agent had to stop first time: "wasnt my fault" driving license, everybody can confirm, " i have to bring this lady back to DED" etc.... we could continue. after 400 meters we@ve been stoped again by same truck: this time to assure a police report will be filled. we could continue. after 5000 meters of careful driving we were stopped again, and now the police decided that we have to accompany the girl with her relative to teh medical. and my agent had to pay her treatment and way back and probably also " compensation" to the police for 50.000 UGS (25 €).

but thats how accidents are handled here: a) be nice to the police and "compensate" b) even if its not your fault, if you have more money you pay

by the way: i'll start my driving classes on Monday....
