yeah its a pain

1, 3, 9, and 10 were all down to the bike rider’s sense of thinking they can do what they want. All their own fault. Number 2 just paid zero attention at all. I do feel sorry for 4 and 6 though.

Someone cuts across oncoming traffic in #10 and you say it’s the biker’s fault?!

It’s wasn’t that 2 wasn’t paying attention..it was that a mattress hurling towards him at 60+mph suddenly appeared out of nowhere. No time for reaction. Just brace for impact and hope for the best.

I needed spare pants quite few times. It’s 25:75 if you ask me. 1 time is my fault, next 3 times drivers are lucky I didn’t have a gun on me

WHY DID I WATCH THIS WHILE TAKING A DUMP?

because racecar

Because it’s one of the most effective laxatives in existence!

because weight reduction

What about this?

Unfortunately, it’s not something special, it happens quite often.

Main reasons Im scared to get a bike…I am not even that lucky. But I do want one.

Go for it mate, if your sensible you’ll be fine :)

As a driver and rider from Indonesia, these events occur just like our daily meal. And not intending to be offensive or sexist, but moms or women aged 30 and above are the scariest beings you will find on the road. For example, these beings ride their mopeds slowly in the middle of the lane, sometimes indicating left but turning right. That is even worse during evening when teenagers and kids (yes KIDS) ride their mopeds pretending to be valentino rossi and weaving thru heavy rush hour traffic. It is a huge supprise how we still managed to have high population.

And then it gets worse during the night, poor road illumination and motorcyclist with broken headlight and taillights offer the “best” inevitable event of sending someone to the Sender…

Dying twice is the daily minimum when you ride a bike in Jakarta.

yesterday at a stop sign i almost got rekt by a bus, he indicated left so i was going to pull up on the right (i was going right and there was space) and then he turns right. if i had pulled up a little faster i woul have been run over by a bus. i dont think the bus driver knew whats left and right :P

I have ecountered almost same situation like that. But i was riding my moped, the one who reversing was a truck, and i was on truck driver’s blind spot. Luckily the truck only hit my moped with speed around 1 or 2 km/h and there was a pedestrian who shouting at the truck driver to stop.
