The Mind is A Precious Thing to Waste

Manila is one of the most dangerous to drive in/cross the street. Here you can find the most reckless of drivers and most careless of pedestrians. Problem here is that a lot of people have a problem following rules. Unless you are color blind, I don’t see any problem driving when the light is green and stopping when it turns red. The same for pedestrians, the pedestrian lane with its zebra stripes are hard to miss. Risking your life because of sheer laziness is just plain stupidity.

Two months ago, an accountant was run over by a public bus. According to the bus driver, he didn’t even notice that he hit a person. He only went down to check the tires when the bus won’t budge. It was only then that he discovered that he ran over a man. I’m guessing that the accountant got down the passenger jeepney in the middle of the road at the same time the public bus passed by. The result, roadkill.














The Victim














The Culprit

I’m not defending the public buses because a lot of them are reckless and most of the driver are real @$$h0les. However, pedestrians who get on and off public utility vehicles just about anywhere are equally responsible for these types of accidents.
