Car ownership in the mainland is very high, but the per capita car ownership is very low, and many people are still struggling on the road to buy a car. What if someone without a car has an urgent need to use a car? Of course, I borrowed a car from a friend. Most people should have had the experience of being borrowed by a friend, although the owner was very reluctant, but for the sake of face, he still lent the car to a friend.
Some people are more exquisite, they feel that borrowing other people's things must be well protected, can not cause losses to the owner, very careful when using the car. But some people are different, driving other people's cars on the road, bumping and not caring, the most excessive thing is that some people still drive other people's cars on the road after drinking.
Mr. Car Advocate bought a BMW 3 Series, some time ago, a friend said that there was something at home that was in a hurry to return to his hometown and wanted to borrow a car. Mr. Zhang felt that he and his friends had known each other for five or six years, often ate and drank together, and his friends must help if they were in an emergency, so he gave the car keys to his friends very happily.
The friend drove the car for a week before returning, and when the friend returned the car, he told Mr. Zhang that he had sent the car to the car wash shop to wash it, and the car was also filled with oil, so that he could drive with confidence. Mr. Zhang was greatly moved, when the friend drove the car away, there was at most half a tank of oil left in the car, and now the other party not only filled the oil, but also washed the car, he felt that the friend was very righteous.
But within a few days, Mr. Zhang's good feelings for his friends disappeared. He heard from another friend that during his return to his hometown, the other party went to dinner with people and drank a lot of wine, and everyone present at the time advised him not to drive, or to find a person who did not drink to send him home, but the friend did not agree. He said he was conscious and was able to drive back on his own. Fortunately, I didn't run into the traffic police, otherwise I would be in trouble.
When Mr. Zhang heard the news, he was furious, originally he thought that his friend was a very well-behaved person, but he did not expect to drive his car drunk without his knowledge. Fortunately, there was no traffic accident, and if there was a traffic accident, not only would the friend be punished, but he would certainly be implicated. What's even more infuriating is that after the fact, the friend is still calm as if nothing happened. When I saw my friend again, Mr. Zhang told my friend directly that he would stop looking for me to borrow a car in the future.
Many netizens feel that Mr. Zhang's approach is correct, if the friend is skilled in driving, obey the rules when driving, and it does not matter if the car is borrowed to drive. But if the other party ignores the traffic laws, then you can't lend the car to the other party. Borrowing a car is a very troublesome thing, which involves many aspects such as traffic safety and traffic violations. In the event of an accident, not only is the driver in trouble, but the owner may also be jointly and severally liable.
How do I refuse someone to borrow a car?
When you don't want to lend the car to others, you can find a reason, such as the car should be maintained, or which part of the car is faulty and needs to be repaired, and you can't lend the car to the other party for worry about driving safety. These reasons are all reasons that the other party can't refuse, and you can try it when you encounter a friend borrowing a car.
epilogue:
People often say that "the car and the wife do not lend", borrowing a car is a very test of friendship, lending to the other party is worried that the other party does not cherish, there is a bump, do not lend to the other party and worry about the rupture of friendship. People who can lend their cars to themselves without hesitation are out of absolute trust, and we can't live up to the trust of others.
