why?
because apparently, any traffic laws that do exist here do not apply to them. therefor: they dont stay in lanes, they do not always stop at lights, they do not have a speed limit, they weave in between cars....and not just cars, but buses, trucks, and anything else that is on the road.
additionally, the drivers enjoy taking turns at a sharp angle, want to get you to your destination as fast as possible so they can take their next run, do not slow down for speed bumps or pot holes, and particularly enjoy giving us farangs a "thrilling" experience.
but, they are the fastest way to navigate this city, where on a bus it can take 2 hours to go 12km in the middle of the day. and, they are the cheapest option, which is important when living on a salary such as mine.
and so, the only thing i can do is hang on tight and close my eyes.
