“You have to face the front way.”
Een bebaarde meneer en een vrouw van Afrikaanse origine namen achter ons plaats op de tram.
– Why?
“Because it’s safer. Otherwise if the tram has to make an urgent break you can get injuries. Like a whiplash.”
Ah whiplash. Onze nieuwsgierigheid was meteen geprikkeld.
– Well, then I can sue them and I’ll never have to work again.
“I won’t be so sure of that, only if it is a werkongeval. Wait a minute, I have a booksken here with me.”
De meneer graait in zijn zakken naar een soortement brochure, waar hij verwoed in begint te bladeren.
“Here I have it. Because you have to watch out with this. Only the first thirty days you get honderd procent and after dat you only get negenty procent of the plafond. You must not forget about the plafond.”
– And if the tram hits a car.
“Then you can always ask for the insurance of the people of the car and they have to pay you much much more dan the plafond. But you must then be certain that the car doesn’t run away.”
– Why not?
“But Cynthiaake, think for a minuut. If the car runs away you kant ask for the insurance because it is not there.”
(En in het midden van dit betoog moesten wij afstappen.)
Altijd ambiance op de tram zeg ik u.
