    I think it is the differential in speed that causes problems, ie: everyone going 10 km/hour or everyone going 50 Km/hour is fine. The problems occurs when one is going 10 Km/hr while the other is going 50 Kn/hr as the slower one become an almost "standing" vehicle on the road to the faster vehicle. The same goes for the all vehicle going in the same direction on the same lane of the road... a somewhat rare occurrence here. Parallel moving vehicles do not cause as many problems as the vehicles entering the road at right angles without looking/stopping.

    The moral of the story is keep you eyes open... WIDE OPEN. Make assumptions... like the other rider is going to just what you think he is not going to do right in front of you... It will help you survive longer here if you expect the unexpected and illogical in driving here. .
