I haven't driven the celica in awhile and I brought it out that day and decided "hey ill pop into metrotown for some goodies from t&t"

As I was leaving metrotowns underground parking, I was headed towards the kingsway exit. (parked on the opposite side of the mall because I didn't want to deal with t&t traffic -_-)

I was driving straight and noticed a car heading quickly towards the upcoming intersection (to make a right turn onto the road I was on) he wasn't slowing down or even looking at the road! he was looking at his passenger -_-
I was already entering the intersection at this point and knew I would have been t-boned if neither of us stopped.
So I slammed the brakes
the other driver finally noticed me but still reacted late and he scraped my passenger front bumper.
^^^ all that happened in around 5sec

I looked at the driver with an 'are you kidding?' look but he just reversed his car! it almost looked like he wanted to drive away as he began to turn his steering wheel right! (may have been paranoia on my part :lol)

Then he pointed at my front end and waved dismissively like it was fine then waved his hand to give me the go ahead to continue on my way :rukidding:

All this happened right in front of a security guard btw, literally, he was just walking up to the intersection when it happened

I get out of my car and I'm not sure but I think the other driver yelled out of his window "why are you getting out?"

At the same time I was asking the guard if it was bad or if my car was hit, can't recall as I was getting angrier at this point.

The guard nodded and said something I couldn't hear.

I walk towards the front of my car with my camera and see the damage and began taking pictures/info gathering

The other driver walked towards me and asked "what are u doing?" as I was writing down his plates :crazy2: he claims he didn't know he hit me and apologizes and asked me if I wanted to settle this outside of icbc yadda yadda

I wasn't paying too much attention and just asked him for his information and he immediately and curtly asked for my info too as if I had offended him for asking for his. I wrote his info down and he takes a picture of mine.

He wanted to leave at this point but security wanted to take pictures of the scene so we waited. Then his passenger came out to speak with me (his wife I'm assuming) she kept asking me to deal with this outside of icbc and I simply told her "the best and safest thing to do would be to go through icbc"
she would reply with "yes it is but that would hurt our insurance. How about we deal with it outside of icbc?" she spoke with broken english mind you but that was what she tried to say

I would just repeat myself and she would too and finally she says "why icbc? it's just small damage" -_- so I told her "it's pretty bad actually"

And that set her off she just started babbling about how I was overreacting and started speaking in her own language and left me alone to argue with her husband.

After a few minutes she speaks with one of the security guards, loudly, and says "its lucky you guys are here because some people want to make this seem like a big deal" :rolleyes:

Anyway I got the security guards name and the number of the security office, they told me that icbc could call them to confirm the situation and ask for their pictures.

The other driver and his wife, who wanted to leave so badly earlier, now wanted to stay behind and speak with the security but I didn't care to wait around and went on my way and called icbc, which led to another issue because according to ICBC I only have 7+ years of driving experience (but I've got the 10yr discount) I've been driving for 16+yrs! and they told me we could deal with that in the future.
