    Don't drive in Manila

    Interesting documentary about driving in Manila. Apologies if it has been put on the forum before - although I haven't noticed it.

    Uploaded to You Tube in 2013, 45 minutes in length.

    Also features a Pinay racing driver. Get in there Graham.

    Great video . Thanks Jamie.

    I've driven there. At least he's used to driving on the 'wrong' side of the road !

    The only foreign country I've driven in is Greece and that was on a motorbike. Getting used to driving in the passenger seat of a vehicle using your right hand for gears in a city like Manila would just be too much.

    Well I've managed to do it Jamie, AND I'm left-handed.

    Give it a go sometime. Challenging, but fun.

    Oh, and you could always rent an auto-trans model.

    I've never felt the need to rent a car abroad yet. If I did, it would be somewhere quiet like Siquijor.

    We're currently in the Philippines and I'm doing a lot of driving. It was a 13 hour trip yesterday!

    But I'm actually quite enjoying it! I'll post some info when l get back.
