heh heh.
what i have observed, however,
one second, wala yung motorsiklo sa side mirror view ko (dahil nasa likod ko siya),
the next second, nandun na sa side mirror ko dahil biglang inoberteyk ako at rumaragasang kakanan rin!
talagang sinasadyang sisingit!
dun pa naman sa kantong kanto!
tama yung sinabi nung isang tsikoteer (me!): these motorcyclists think that the rest of the world stops in its tracks, as they do their thing, overtaking us.
it does not occur to them, that the cars are also moving and whatever opening the cyclists see, is an opening in flux.
this past rainy week alone,
i almost ran into three bicycles, in three instances.
the offensive two-wheelers crossed the intersection in front of me, without even slowing down.
it was night, rain was falling, and he did not have lights.
so how could i have seen him?
but my headlights were on. so how could he not have seen me?
luckily, i was crossing the intersection slowly enough; otherwise, nagkabungguan na kami.
"kamote motorcyclists in training?"
apologies for the long rant.
