RE: Speed and its impact

in Reflections3 months ago

Driving in the Philippines is insane. There are motorcycles and bicycles on the main road. Jeepneys [public transport] stop and swerve all the time. People can cross the road from almost anywhere. There is horrible traffic, so fatalities and big collisions aren't as common. Drivers can't practice safe driving as much, since leaving a big gap between you and the car in front is like inviting other vehicles to squeeze in and overtake you. It's a nightmare.

Yeah, I've not been there but I can imagine as I've travelled all over the world including a lot of Asia. It's bad, and getting worse, everywhere though and with the onset and rise of inattentive phone driving it'll get worse yet.
