Hi,

Yesterday I involved in accident during the heavy rain on highway.

In the first place, I was on the right lane, suddenly, I couldn't control my car due to some of the part of the road is really slippery and my car terbabas masuk lane lain, berpusing until hit other people car.

My car have some minor damage only but the other guy car is really terrible. Bahagian depan kereta teruk.

I called PLUS Hotline and the PLUS Peronda came to us. The peronda guys adviced us that they can tow truck the car to Setia Alam exit only.

And then suddenly there's one guy that came to us, saying that they can tow truck the guy car that involved in accident to Proton repairing centre since the car that badly damaged is Proton. He provided the name card and so on.

This is my first time and that guy first time involved in heavy accident. We are totally blur and couldn't think properly. I also asked that guy what insurance he's using and he's like blur and have no idea.

Is it wrong for me and the guy that involved in accident that simply accept to sign the form and ask them to tow truck the car to repairing centre?


The other party also have no idea what insurance he's using and it's almost midnight when the incident happened.

never sign anything that tow truck ask you to

there are a lot of rogue tow truck fella

they will tow to their workshop which is not recognized by insurance company

you won't be able to fix your car there and need to transfer to a proper workshop

then the tow guy will hold your car ransom and demand compensation for towing services which will go as high as RM500

Always call your insurance hotline when accident happen

All insurance company provide free towing service if you sign up for comprehensive policy

First thing first never accept any of outsider towing and people stopping by just to check and offer their towing or insurances.

Call your own towing provided by your car insurance and wait for them to come. If u accept any outsider u basically just decline and have high risk of getting scam and your car insurance wont cover your loss for anything.

Go to police and make report unless the person u hit want to settle outside
