My attention was arrested by friend Pam when I heard her saying that she had witnessed 'a good road accident' on Sunday. The same day I had witnessed a new height to local driving skills. A flashy black sports car crossed double yellow lines to overtake two lanes of cars that were stopped at red lights - with local cops gazing on (and they never blinked).
So, what constitutes a 'good' accident? The answer was a giggle. King of the roads here is not the biggest vehicle - but the vehicle of choice for the (very many) rich - the Toyota Lexus 4wd. The city is filled with these machines and we who straddle the lowly motos learn not to play chicken with these guys.
So, when Pam witnessed a white Lexus, overtaking and blasting its horn as it approached a t-intersection at the same time as a black Lexus was also on the wrong side of the road with horn blaring coming into said intersection ....
