    A driver rear-ends another car after failing to brake in time. The drivers argue about who is at fault, with the rear driver claiming his brakes were faulty. As the rear driver's insurance had expired, the front driver threatens to call the police. However, the rear driver offers to pay for the damages to resolve the issue privately. He offers his driver's license and vehicle registration as proof of payment. The front driver also demands his watch, which he reveals is a joke.
