Driver's State of Mind

Last week, as I was driving home along España, a speeding bus almost side swept my right side mirror. I didn't actually see what happened, just heard the squeaking sound from the mirror, and when I checked it at home, there was a linear scratch on it.

Some jeepney drivers feel the same way too and a handful of private vehicle drivers as well. With these people on the road, you can't help but practice defensive driving.
