indigo_rose99It was a piddly little fender bender. Most notable about it was that it was the first accident I have seen while in the Philippines! And I was in the car!
Cars here look to be in pretty good shape. No dents, no huge rust spots, no obvious damage. And yet... the driving here is... um... Not as bad as Bangalore, India. That said, I spend a lot of my in-car time NOT looking out any windows. The closeness of other vehicles and the things they casually do to each other makes my blood pressure rise.
My driver and the other driver got out. There was a cop standing on the corner where we were trying to merge (it was rush hour). There was lots of talk that I did not understand. I tried to read tone and expression... I think the other driver was mad that my driver had hit him. Beyond that, the language barrier kept me from understanding anything interesting. After a few minutes, everyone got back in their cars and went on our way. No information was exchanged that I could see.
