Just had a Halleluleja moment! Don´t cross the street.

It is not just the bad driving that is a problem, the actual road design can be a contributing factor.

A nice pointing picture though...

?

R.I.P Dul Panchoon. Condolences to family and friends.

Those tuk-tuks can turn on a dime.

 

Often without the idiot in it looking.

 

Caught me one time, luckily not going too fast. Bust ankle, sore shoulder and damaged fairings only.
