This can't be real...
... and it's not. But watching this made my blood pressure soar. Talk about "close calls"... even if they're not real. Zowie!

A cabbie from Bangkok sees this and says "umm, seems normal to me"
ReplyDeleteHoo-boy, but do I ever hear THAT! I was in a Bangkok cab once upon a time when the driver, frustrated at traffic, took to the freakin' SIDEWALK and stayed there for about a block. He wasn't creeping along, either, doin' about 20 - 25 mph. That wasn't the worst of my Thai taxi experiences, though. I used to ride in tuk-tuks, given they were about half the cost of a "real," i.e., car, taxi. I quit using those death traps when I saw one get hit by a car... the damned thing almost literally exploded. I don't think anyone survived that accident.
DeleteCrap! I didn't see any camera signs when I went through that intersection! Admittedly, I was eating a meatball sandwich at the time and texting my date so my attention may have slipped for a second when I drove by the sign.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't do tuk tuks or jeepney. We had a focus on being alive at the end of the journey. :)

DeleteYou also had the benefit of an O salary. Us guys on the E-side had to cut corners where we could. ;-)
