René van der Gijp is completely shocked. He recently drove behind a motorcyclist who clapped a stationary car head -on. “Is he still alive?” Asks colleague Wilfred Genee.
René van der Gijp sometimes surprises how he responds to certain situations, because in some cases it is really very different from how his environment does. As an example, he mentions a horrible incident that took place in April on the road and of which he and his wife Minouche and her daughter witnessed. A very serious incident …
Cracky
What exactly is it? “Two months ago I drive behind a motorcycle and that engine gives enormous gas. Very gas,” he says in the podcast As long as it’s fun. “But really far away a car stands still, so he drives on top and flies over that car and I am shocked.”
Then he asks host Wilfred Genee: “Would your first reaction be: door open and to that guy?”
Wilfred then: “Yes, of course.”
“Did he still live?”
René continues on that. “But also Minouche and d’r daughter,” he says. “So they sprinted from that car, towards that boy. Had no protective clothing on … Minouche said,” Yes, it was terrible. “
Wilfred: “But he still lived?”
René: “I don’t know, but then I thought afterwards, when it had happened and we drove away there again – that also took an hour – from: I might not do that, as those two did.”
By the side
Wilfred would do that. “Well, I would have put the car by the side, have jumped out and walked there, I think, yes. But you don’t?”
René: “Well, I would be afraid. But they totally did not have that fear. They immediately ran to that boy. And then you get people who live for ten meters and who come out of their house and say,” He didn’t get my car, right? ” They will also walk around their car while one puts there! ”
He concludes laughing, “What is this all?”
