Philippine Road Hazards: griping about it

[atomictom]

Surely, you have noticed how terrible our roads are.

Apart from the fact that our roads are way beyond world standards fit for a city, we find ourselves sharing them with those who disregard safety and value for property.

How are you supposed to restore your vehicle without shelling out hard earned money after being hit by these reckless road users?

How are you supposed to pay the damage you have caused the other party without hurting your pride and pocket in case he wins the argument?

I admire how tolerant we have become to the shortcomings of our government, past and present, to preserve the dignity of our cities and its dwellers.

Let this thread be a testimony to all our gripes.

Tsikoteers, please post photos relevant to the title.

Don't you find the photo below disturbing? Imagine hitting him or being hit by him just because he failed to control his bicycle. This guy suddenly came out of a corner and almost failed to slow down to avoid automobiles.

I just wish Sec. Fernando can bring back the glory of the old Manila that is orderly and clean.
