Recently I drove an acquaintance to the airport and, while leaving the parking lot, knocked down the barrier 🙈 it turned out they hadn’t had anyone knock one down before and didn’t know what to do with me… 😅 so they let me go 🤗
The barrier wasn’t badly damaged; it bent somehow, and I think they’ll repair it… they put cones in front and behind so I wouldn’t run away. But they were very polite and wished me a safe drive… I’m just used to flying through Hi-Pass at 60–80 km/h, but here there was a barrier and I should have stopped the car for about two seconds. My friend helped with translation; her spoken Korean is good.
Be careful on the roads. Don’t rush. I drive very carefully now. Driving is a responsibility not only for your own life, but also for the lives of passengers and pedestrians. I also want to point out that Koreans in situations like this don’t yell; on the contrary, they apologize and thank you for cooperating. I’m so used to their service that I wouldn’t have been surprised if they had also given me a bag of sweets and a tasty drink for the road… things like that happen here… once I went to the post office to send parcels, and the postal workers gave me soap and socks as a gift 😆 maybe I’ll tell you about that later )))
