Bikers Beware

[sonjack2847]

 

George told them he will not bother as the driver only earns 100 peso per day.

 

 No Insurance at All?

 

like all too often no insurance for the trisikad driver I`m not sure if George had any or if they paid out.

A friend of mine here got hit in his car by a motorcycle that shot straight out of a side rode into him. The rider demanded payment, people standing around demanded he paid the rider, the police came and demanded he paid the rider! My friend's wife got out the car and refused to pay, adding that her father was chief of police, he is. Suddenly the rider, who had no license and therefore no insurance was informed that he had to pay!

That just shows that without that intervention everybody was against him, including the police. This is one of the reasons I have decided to just cycle and use public transport here!

I frequent Cebu most of the time, and I do the same, public transport, and my mountain bike ( and even that is putting my life in my hands )  :1 (103):  :1 (103):  :1 (103):

So the moral of the story is.  Its not how they drive but how they treat the long nose. You are seen as a target for extortion.  And it is their whole structure from the poorest to the richest.  I know i upset my Wife when i tell her Cebu is a dirty stinky city filled with bloody theives.
