Typical uncontrolled intersection! :D :screwy: Crazy, but the Philippines is a lot scarier than the 2nd one!

I can understand it in China since even the thought of driving a car is a relatively recent phenomena and a drivers license probably comes with the car! :screwy:
 
True, having been to the Philippines once many years ago i know how bad the traffic conditions can be, especially when your on some of the streets with no traffic lines or anything... but i'm guessing things may have improved quite a bit since the last time i was there...
 
lmao that first vid is funny! :ROFL:

Improved? You're joking right? :D

Nope, no improvements in sight. Not when driving on the wrong side of the road against traffic is considered normal as are intersections with no stop signs or signals. All I could say the 1st time in a taxi here was, "we're going to die, we're going to die, we're going to die" over and over and over again! They are :screwy:NUTS :screwy: here!!! The bus drivers think they are Nascar drivers on steroids too! :screwy:
 
o_O Even in the states lots of people do not know what a red light or stop sign is... or anything else. I seen many accidents with red light runners, people driving on the wrong side of the road or reversing in the wrong direction down the interstate. I saw a guy cross a bike crossing infront of traffic get hit. Even when you do have these things.. you never know -_- you just hope people pay attention, although def. not that bad here. Those videos are pretty bad though.... but what do you expect if there isnt a way to even attempt to controll it.... ? there really isn't a way. I think the thing I am more impressed by is the ones on the bikes that got hit and got right back up.
 
1st video- funny...

2nd video- get a stop sign or 2....

Sad to say, but they would likely ignore it! :screwy:
