Driving in Asia with Motorcycle

[serialk11r]

Good thing about China is larger roads have a blocked off bicycle/motorcycle section. The worst part about China is the drivers who don't care about laws at all, cyclists are slightly more careful IMO. Sometimes in traffic you'll see some douchebag in a giant SUV decide to drive onto the sidewalk!

Want FR-S, I got hit by a sedan! The guy could see me, he was just too impatient to wait the 0.2 seconds it would take for me to get out of the way...but speaking of SUV/trucks, in CA we don't have many lifted trucks but once I saw this ginormous lifted truck that was so high I couldn't see past it in my mom's rather tall Honda Pilot at an intersection! grr....

I got hit by a bus. The guy saw me and he said "I thought you were going slow." Without all those protective gears, I don't think I can type this to you.

After watching this vid, the people riding the mopeds seemed to be ones causing the most ruckus.

Hahahaha I know! Going to the Philippines by the time you are 12 you should know how to ride a motorcycle and if not you should be learning stick in a car. LOL I had to learn both at 12 but I'm lucky when I rode a motorcycle not to be a victim in that video.

As you can see from the video, many riders (motorcyclist or cyclist) simply go straight after crossing the two cars that block your view of oncoming traffic, and they think the world is theirs that no other cars will come.

Most of them seemed to crash b/c they don't know how to ride or they are drunk.

If you don't know how to, your pinsans will teach you. When I went to the P.I back in '08, scooters and dirtbikes were everywhere. I was pulling wheelies down the street and the "Pulis" didn't seem to care.
