A road accident can be messy. Tempers flare, the excitement is high and it’s quite common for people to remain defensive following a road mishap fearing compensation, humiliation and even physical abuse especially in India.
However, it is heart-warming when you come across people who unexpectedly take responsibility for what has happened. Let’s just say . . . it restores faith in the goodness of humanity.
Chennai-based Marc Knight shared one such incident through a post on his Facebook profile. In the post, he talks about what he found alongside his bike’s smashed tail lamp—a letter of apology and cash compensation for the damage.
“Today, I had parked my bike at the Rajiv Gandhi Government hospital, Chennai. When I returned, I found my tail lamp smashed. For a moment, I was really upset, but I found a small bit of paper rolled into my helmet which was on the bike,” he said in the post.
It was an apology note and a couple of hundred rupees rolled up with it. I was indeed taken aback. In a world of road rage and recklessness, this was a pleasant reminder that humanity still existed. So, guys, just share this and if it reaches the guy who did this, I want to say ‘thank you, you are a good person!'” he said.
