    Have you observed how motorcabs (a.k.a. pedicabs) drive? What can say? I think its about only 10% I can say that they are up to their drivers license as pro drivers. Hehehe....

    To cite some examples, how about making a sign turning left using the feet. Hehe. Or making an overtake then suddenly poling over because he saw a prospective commuter. Another is when you are overtaking, he is also speeding up, he dont want to loose the race? Hehe...

    Took a late night trike ride along the south highway. No lights front or back on the bike and none on the trike. But he had a light inside the trike so he put that on instead. I couldn't see more than a foot in front, so God only knows what the driver could see, if anything, but thankfully I'd had enough SMB anaesthetic.

    But the most memorable (or forgetful), whichever way you see it ?? This was the night-time trike ride from town to Bacong, no lights on the bike and just one light on the outside of the cab. He figured that he could overtake and then outrun a Ceres bus all the way to Bacong. The bus was virtually up our @ss blowing its horn, and the trike driver stayed as near to the middle of the road to stop it overtaking us, laughing like a demented banshee who had overdosed on helium. Now that was a scrotum shrinking experience.:D

    And I thought Ceres took away the position for full time hood ornament! :D:D:D

    No probs JB. Maybe next time. I figured that Pat would have called me if a meet-up had been arranged, but I also guessed that your time was very limited.

    Big match this Sunday !!!!! Welcome to the wonderful world of Upton Park.:p:p:p

    Some pedicab drivers are inconsiderate. Some motorcycle drivers are crazy. Most drivers of private cars are totally incompetent. Still, driving here beats driving in the states. :-)
