@van ✓ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ did that happen to you or did you just find it?

im OP

Well your friend Ben is an asshole

yeah

But the taxi driver too

two assholes met on the street

what happenes is what happens, when two assholes meet on the street

go to the police if you fear something bad could happen to your mother

and clarify the situation

But most probably, Ben will also suffer consequences if you go to the police

just saying

this is a very iffy situation to deal with

we are all graduating soon and getting ben in trouble at this point in time is also kinda bad

I'd be afraid that the taxi driver is part of some sort of organized criminality

and that too at the same time

my family is considering just getting a new car asap

because our car is old and we were considring getting a new one recently

Do you have the possibility to find out the driver's name?

theres no way the taxi driver can even find us or identify us if we switch car and license plate

Contact the taxi company and apologize? Might be a beta move but if you don't want trouble, that's the way out

i have his plate number, so i can possibly find out through the taxi app

is this what life is like? you accidently flip someone off, they attack you, and instead of reporting it you ignore it and buy a new car?

wtf

I'll get Ben to do that, he should do sth for causing us trouble

Personally I wouldn't give a shit about Ben and just go to the police, seriously . Also Ben should pay the damage to the car

He had no reason to do this obscene gesture in public and he should have estimated the consequences of his action

if Ben was still 17, i would've just talked with the police about all that happened.

but now that he is 18 since last month, he would definitely face consequences

which isn't really good when you're graduating in a few days

that's really his problem, he is putting your family in danger

protecting your family > protecting your friends

how would you feel if the taxi driver shows up at night and harms your parents, because you wanted to protect Ben?

ideally, itd be best to have a solution that involves minimal damage to every party from at this point in time

and if it requires money, so be it.

is that against the law in taiwan? to flip someone off?
