Last night on Jamal Abdul Nasir Road near Buhaira, Sharjah, I was flowing slowly through traffic when the unexpected happened.
Its illegal to stop on Refuge Island but this Ford Mondeo guy stopped abruptly. It was just a split second, no time to adjust as its not possible to stop on shiny brick surface even with ABS kicking in.
On Refuge Islands (Elevated Zebra Crossings), its illegal to stop. You've to stop before, until the exit is clear, and this is what I was expecting but he didn't stop and decided instead to stop on top of it. I was not paying attention thinking the road is clear ahead of him but before I could realize, I already banged him.
I'm sure Sharjah Police is not comforting and this guy was sure he was wrong. I was also sure (as I was not paying attention) that I was wrong also. In short the guy said "Kullu A'aam Wa Untum Bakhair" and I replied as well. He went his way I went my way. No one hurt.
The radiator went back and hit the internal fan blocking it to circulate. Thats why at signals and stop signs, it heat a little but on the move its fine. Even if the fan is jammed, due to viscous couplings, its not hard on the engine.
Went to workshop but Eid Days, its already closed, no chance of repair. Eid will be at home, in the bed.
If you look at the car closely u'll realize that I didn't hit his car with my bumper but with the grill. His front was down on road and rear on the Refuge Island, while I was climbing up to it.
