I was in a coach that took my group on a city tour of Colombo several years ago. The driver never took his hand off the horn, and other motorists did likewise. It was so stressful for all the passengers (especially the tourists).
i was in cowcutta and my taxi was t-boned by a 3-wheeler. the taxi was so heavy and tough (hindustan ambassador) it took the collision with a scratch. the 3-wheeler was almost totaled.
that’s other pet peeve in sg. human collisions waiting to happen. especially at crowded hawker centers, malls and mrt stations. on almost every occasion in those places someone would rush at a quicker pace and step in front of me just to be ahead. on a few occasions i would raise an elbow with the pointed end at their direction pretending to scratch my arm to prevent them from cutting in front of me. if they bump into me depends on chiobu or ugly pig. if chiobu i will let her bump. if ugly pig i will make pork stew.
Most Sinki like to wear a “mask”
The worst pedestrians are those with their eyes firmly glued to their phones. One such girl decided to suddenly cut sharply into my path to go up an escalator at West Mall recently, causing me to make an swerve abruptly to my right to avoid a collision. Instead of apologising, she shook her head as if to indicate that I should have anticipated her sudden change of direction. These "phone zombies" are the worst jaywalkers.
This stupid woman driver even drifted to the lane on her right because she was about to hit the car in front as she didn’t want to give way.
