Selected Traffic Enforcement Stories

Last year had a guy intentionally hit my car tire with his motorbike when we were going very slowly then tip over on his side and claim accident. At first we ignored him but he chased after us. So my wife finally showed him the dash cam and suddenly he admitted that neither he or his motorbike had been hurt and went away.

I have a BIL in PNP in Pasay. Should I keep his number on speed dial?

What we find amusing is comparing the average human pedestrian to the average canine pedestrian. While in the roadway with a vehicle approaching the canine will look at the vehicle and hurry out of the way. The human will glare at the vehicle and either slow down or stop.

I have to disagree. Here the dogs just lay in the road when I approach them on my motor.  Even at high speed and horn blaring. Maybe it is a province thing.  I tell my wife my fate will be death by dog or death by dong while driving here.

I was driving in the countryside today and got stuck behind an elderly lady pulling a plastic chair behind her ( no idea - didn't want to or need to know) and she stubbornly refused to move over enough to let me pass safely but kept waving me past.  My wife opened the window and asked her very politely to move in a little but she merely stopped but didn't move aside. 

My wife suggested she was disabled hence pulling the chair  - I wouldn't be surprised if her disability was the result of being struck by a car!

I have seen this multiple times.  It was always people taking chairs to some kind of function where there was not enough seating for everyone.  So the take their own chairs.  I suspect she may not have been strong enough to carry the chair?

Yes one of the major causes of motor cycle accidents here.

Nope...she was just being a stubborn old git.
