Re: Car documents while on the road
 

Thank you columbine. You seem to have a lot of first-hand experience of having motoring accidents :(. By the sound of things, everything worked out well in the end.

It's good to hear that the police officer sided with you rather than the other driver, whom I presume was a Malaysian. When I was in the Middle East, the commonly-held view was that in the case of an accident between an expat and a local, the police would always side with the local, regardless of the circumstances.

However, the police will nearly always side with a motorcyclist so forewarned is forearmed.

Yes, teejaydee 4 accidents in 12 years here ;-/ Very lucky no one got hurt.
The other parties in 3 were Malaysians, the 4th was my better half himself driving the hybrid car over a concrete stop bar damaging the chasis and eventually 6 months later a total write-off as Toyota was not able to give AIA full guarantee the hybrid car would be safe to drive even after repairs ;-/
