Sounds like your traffic is much worse than around us. In the actual town it is slow and crowded. This is where the above incidents occurred. Once you leave town you can almost always do 50+ up to whatever the rider is comfortable with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to use the trikes or easyriders too, Only had a car last two years. Been coming to Dumaguete since 2002. Noticed that the traffic was less congested then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He walking with his back to traffic and decided to cross the road without looking. Amazing how many people I see walking across the road and only looking at the far lanes. It's as if they think there is no one else out there... I have only crashed on my bike twice...so far. That's when I decided to buy the car. I just now had a conversation with my Filipino neighbour... We shared grievances about the driving here. He has spent time in USA and just shakes his head when comparing the driving habits between here and there. He had his own close call last night and had to lock up his brakes for another car that was not looking, almost crashed, but saved it.... All at 20 km/hour... Good luck and be careful to us all.

I said trikes and multicabs that had no place to be. That wouldn't include commercial trikes and multicabs as they obviously have some place to be.

Every bit of Public Transport with a Licenced route has a right to be on that route ( well to my mind anyway) Take a route to please others would result in additional costs, then who would the moaners be?

Promised the asawa that I would quite riding when I turned 70. That is less than a year away now. We also have a car but I much prefer my scooter. Easier to get around and not much problem to find parking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
