Traffic Rules Explained #1

Från  PP expat community forum. En bra beskrivning av vad man upplever när man cyklar till jobbet varje morgon.

Ha en bra helg, Friday 5 o'clock beer in PP.

A friend of mine just explained the traffic rules to me, so here they are:

Traffic Lights:
"... Big metal lollipops that sometimes flash (when they are working) on and off, with pretty colors such as Green (winter-melon), Orange (cantaloupe), and of course Red (lychee). For some reason, a few people (mostly barrangs) stop at red, must be cos they enjoy lychees"

Indicator lights
"... Small lollipops attached to motos and cars that sometimes flash (especially on barrang vehicles), they look pretty and are cool to use at night. Haven't worked out why people use them, maybe to pick up chicks. Weird"

Driving out onto main roads from small side streets without looking, expecting right of way
"... I always have right of way, my mama told me so"

Driving street wrong way whilst SMSing my girlfriend
" ... I can do what the f*** I want, my mama told me so"

Doing wheelies with my friend on the back, wave-speeding through slow traffic at 80km
" ... It looked cool in Need For Speed 2"

Blaming barrangs in the event of an accident, no matter who is at fault
" ... They are all rich, so they have to pay!"
