I fondly remember the colorful Sarao jeepneys of my younger days.
It would have banners, mudguards, sun visors and what-have-you with all the funny Filipinisms like “God knows Hudas not pay”, “Katas ng Saudi”, “Good Driver, Sweet Lover”, other fun stuff.

Of course who would forget “<—Safe Side | Suicide—>”!

I now grudgingly remember my road mosquitos; motorbikes crisscrossing  the streets, trying to maneuver into every available space between vehicles and between sidewalks.  These man-driven objects seem to be confused as to whether they are human – in which case their proper place is the sidewalk; or are they vehicles – whose proper place is queued up properly on the road.

But hey, they come from every side and angle.  From the safe side, and from the suicide.  I firmly believe these motorcycle drivers have an unexpressed death wish.

If only they can remember which is the safe side and the suicide, then the roads will be safe for all of us!

Suicide, this guy has a death wish
