    Go left or right at a roundabout.
    DO NOT stop at a stop sign.
    Ignore pedestrians.
    Do not use mirrors when overtaking.

    Smile By the Way

    As the title suggests - by the way - on the subject of traffic. How about a couple of world records.

    Whilst in the beautiful Phils. the most people I saw on a motor bike was 6 - and the most people I saw on (and in) a tricycle (motor bike powered) was 10.

    Can anybody beat those?

    Alan (again)

    Hi Alan! I bet you're talking about the famous "Habal-habal"...next time you hop in on one of those bikes don't forget to take along your rosary. Trust me, you'll need it.

    I could ameliorate the sentence - or I could even make it better!! But would I be thanked for doing it?

    Another thing that makes me chuckle on the roads over there is - all the taxis, buses etc.. have written on the back of them - 'How's my driving?'

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!
