i almost died today!

I was hangin' on, literally, for dear life for 30 minutes. My knuckles were so white from gripping the overhead handle bar of the taxi that we're riding on. I dare not gasp everytime the taxi swerves or tries to overtake another vehicle for fear that the driver might drive more recklessly. I was ashen-faced, very dizzy and was trying hard not to vomit on the pavement by the time we reached my sister's house.

I already notice his reckless driving right from the start of our trip. I even told him that my son is getting dizzy already. He just nods his head and continued driving very fast. Manila taxi drivers doesn't even care for the lives of their passengers. MMDA should replace them with women drivers just like what they're doing with bus drivers.

I hope we don't have this experience during our summer trips. Because no matter how nice the place that we're staying on is, it won't be so nice at all if I get so stressed out.

The traffic situation in Manila is most unbearable on fridays. It starts as early as two in the afternoon and ends very late at night. Today is Friday. I am right now on my way to pick up my son from school. I am caught in traffic on a very hot, very humid day.

Although cars move in very very slow pace during traffic, accidents still happens. Undisciplined taxi and bus drivers, some private motorists as well, tend to overtake and force their vehicle when given a tiny space between two other vehicles. That causes accidents, undisciplined driving.

So, if you just bought a new car, make sure that you get the best car insurance quotes to get a good deal in case of unforeseen traffic accidents in the future.
