Suddenly, the car braked suddenly and both of them were thrown forward. Then they heard a "bang" sound, as if something nearby had hit them.
In this era, people did not have the strong safety awareness as in later generations. Even Cheng Maixiang was too lazy to wear a seat belt. Anyway, there were almost no cars on the road and the drivers did not drive fast. The probability of having a car accident was comparable to winning the lottery.
But because of this, the driver slammed on the brakes and both of their heads hit the front seat. The seat was hard and both of them felt so much pain that Cheng Maixiang couldn't help but shed tears.
The driver was startled and apologized hastily. Cheng Maixiang waved her hand and said, "Don't blame me. We weren't wearing seat belts."
Lin Jiayu covered his forehead and glanced out the window, "Master, let's deal with the things outside first."
The driver apologized again, then opened the car door and got out. Cheng Maixiang rubbed her forehead, and the pain eased a lot. She said hurriedly, "Let's go down and take a look."
When the two got out of the car, they found that there was a road only two meters wide on the north side of the road. A car suddenly rushed out from the small road without any prior warning, forcing the driver to brake suddenly.
The car didn't seem to anticipate that there would be a car on this road. By the time it discovered it, it was too late to brake. It had to turn the steering wheel urgently and ended up crashing into a large rock on the side of the road.
Cheng Maixiang saw that the front of the car was dented and the headlights were completely damaged. It seemed that the car was traveling at a high speed at the time.
In this era, there were no 4S stores like in later generations. If the car broke down, you could only take it to a car repair shop, which would definitely not be as good as the original factory repair. This car is painted silver-gray. I wonder if the repair shop has the same paint.
At that moment, the door of the damaged car suddenly opened, and a man jumped out, cursing, "Are you blind? You braked so slowly, and look at what you've done to my car!"
Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu looked at each other and were both surprised. It was clearly their fault, but he was cursing without caring about anything. What surprised them even more was that the driver was very young, looking only about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Wei Lingcheng's driver's surname was Hu, and he was about forty years old. This kind of person who can be a private driver is usually calm and capable, silent in front of others, and rarely stirs up trouble. At this moment, when he heard the young man's curse, he did not get angry. Instead, he asked with concern, "Little brother, are you hurt?"
"Thank goodness for my skill, I didn't end up with a car wreck," the young master said proudly. Then he frowned and said angrily, "But you scared my sister. Tell me, how should we settle this matter?"
Only then did Cheng Maixiang and Lin Jiayu realize that there was a woman sitting in the back seat of the car. However, perhaps because she was arrogant or too scared, she was too lazy to get out of the car to take a look even though such a serious thing had happened.
Driver Hu smiled and asked, "So what do you want to do?"
Those days were different from later times. When a car accident happened, you could just call the police to handle it. Firstly, there were no mobile phones, so it was difficult to even find a phone number after a car accident. Secondly, by the time the traffic police arrived, no one knew how much time had passed. Many people who had been in car accidents settled their affairs privately.
The boy snorted, "You are responsible for taking my car to the auto repair shop to get it fixed. You will pay for it. Before that, drive me and my sister back home and apologize to our whole family. Then I will forgive you."
Driver Hu was truly well-mannered. Hearing such an outrageous request, he wasn't even angry at all. Instead, he patiently asked, "Where do you live, little brother?"
The young man raised his right hand and pointed to a house in the distance, "No. 25 Chaoyang Road, that's the house over there."
Driver Hu looked at the house from a distance, smiled and said, "So this is Director Lu's home. This little brother is his son."
"So you know my dad too. That makes things easier. Hurry up and send me and my sister back home."
Driver Hu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have a guest to take, so I'm afraid I can't take you and your sister back. But if you have patience, just wait here. I'll take the guest back and take you and your sister back to the Lu residence."
The boy's face suddenly darkened and he asked angrily, "What about my car?"
This time, before Driver Hu could even say anything, Lin Jiayu sneered, "You didn't obey traffic rules and crashed your car, so naturally you should fix it yourself. Why should others fix your car? Just because you're Director Lu's son?"
Lin Jiayu rarely appeared in this area. The young master didn't know him and thought he was just here to do something for someone. He relied on his father's high status and acted arrogantly in this area. He didn't expect to be ridiculed by Lin Jiayu and immediately became furious.
"Who are you then? I guess you've never touched a car since you were a child. How do you know I didn't obey traffic rules? Okay, tell me, which rule did I break?"
"According to the 1955 Urban Traffic Rules, Chapter 3, Article 20, Subsection 3, when similar vehicles meet, turning vehicles must give way to vehicles going straight, vehicles on branch roads must give way to vehicles on the main road, and on roads where branch and main roads are not separated, vehicles with no vehicles on their right must give way."
Now, both of our cars are sedans, belonging to the same type of vehicle, but our car was going straight and taking the main road, while your car was turning and taking the side road. You should have given way, but you were rushing forward, and you didn't even know to honk the horn to warn people when turning. Maybe your car is too old and the horn is broken?
Lin Jiayu said coldly, then looked the boy up and down. "I see you're only sixteen at most, not even old enough to get a driver's license. How dare you drive on the road without a license? Did Director Lu teach you to do that?"
