Kopi Licence

My car was parked along a side road already full of parked cars. It's dinner time and naturally we all eat. All of a sudden, there was this loud crunching of metal - as with all busybodies, heads turned - then there was another crunching sound, and I ran towards my car. Inching away, was this yellow-top taxi. Too late, I saw him and I was there asking for his licence. First thing he said was "I was going to park the taxi first" - WHAT CRAP!
Then came the taxi-driver bully tactic - they insist that I use his mechanic, because coincidentally, his brother has a workshop at Sin Ming, which is just around the bend. Then he went on to say that my car is not brand new so why be so fussy about using my own mechanic. THAT did it. He slammed into a parked vehicle, then tries to bully me into using his mechanic because my car is not brand new. Then, out of nowhere 3 mechanics showed up, all guys - telling me, it's a small thing, they can fix it. Well, I asked them ONE simple question i.e. how much would an original bumper cost, considering my old car has only original parts. Know what? He couldn't tell me. So I told him that if he didn't even have a CLUE, then why the hell should I entrust that he knows even where to get the bumper from, because replacing it with one from the scrap yard is not acceptable.
And so, my mechanic sent a tow truck for me, and if not for the fact that it was at a busy kopitiam, I am sure, he and his friends would give me a harder time.
Now, I am told, that some have a habit of twisting the facts, when we don't use their mechanic. This is really a pack of nonsense.
Let's see how this works out. I have made a report at IDAC, and lets see how things go. It's no point having to make reports, have the surveyor study the damage and the end result is far from the truth. It's just the front bumper, license plate, cracked lights and patches of scratches on the body above the front wheel. I hope he's honest enough to admit - after all, he's a taxi driver, shuttling people in public - question - why is it always the taxi driver? What have they missed out in their education that makes them so prone to such behaviour. I have met very good ones, but I guess, those ones never slam into a parked vehicle.
