well at least you would never know it hurt you as you became a speed bump on the highway of life.
They drive crazy everywhere. I remember my first trip to Fiji 19 years ago. Had to do a 2 and 1/2 hour transfer on winding roads from Nadi to Pacific Harbor on the main island of Viti Levu. The bus is going uphill with 20 of us in it and decides to pass some slightly slower traffic. A pickup truck comes around the corner ahead of us coming our way going downhill. Our driver kept passing the slower traffic and never pulled over and forced the pickup truck coming towards us off of the road. I asked the driver about it and he just said the bus was much bigger.
In the Philippines the trikes always are forced over to the side of the road, no matter which way they are heading. And on un improved dirt roads, they just drive around potholes and ruts and don't worry whether theay are on the wrong side of the road on blind corners.
