Another quarter of an hour.
Punctual, for his first day of work.
The traffic light turns green, and Boris rides onto the intersection.
In his left peripheral vision, he sees her. She is looking down.
Around her is a whole car, which is rapidly approaching Boris.
What is she doing now? Is she really looking at her phone?
Boris is giving it some more welly, then she might just miss him.
But that doesn't help anymore.
The telephone operator smashes the rear left of his Polo with a bang.
Boris's car is making a funny swerve.
Not quite the direction he was heading.
That doesn't feel right.
When he gets out, he sees why.
His rear wheel is completely crooked.
Poor Polo.
The telephone operator has also got off.
‘I really don't understand where you came from, I was driving through a green light!’ she says directly.
Haha.
Boris knows better.
The lady was staring at her phone instead of paying attention to the traffic light.
He is calling the police.
They do not want to come over; this can be handled with a claim form.
‘Shit,’ Boris thinks. ‘I have to call work. Today is my first day at work.’
Later, I'll have Boris on the line.
‘I can't come to work today because I've just had an accident.’
Haha.
And I think: is Boris taking the mickey out of me now?
An accident on his first day of work?
But yes, Boris was precisely hired because he seemed such an honest chap.
Fortunately, he was unharmed; his car was simply no longer drivable.
Do you also have a car with a wonky wheel?
Or is there something else with your car preventing you from getting to work?
Book your replacement car here. For a few days or a few weeks.
You can also Give Roermond a call.
Perhaps you'll get Boris on the line then.
She now knows all about replacement transport.
