Dealing With Motorcycles

Imagine a World War 2 scene where you’re in a battleship shooting kamikaze pilots from crashing to you and they come endlessly from every corner of your eye.

The first thing to remember, there are quadrillion of motorcycles in this city. There even a song tribute for them:

Expect to find people rides their motorcycle close to your car in less than a foot from any directions that is left, right, and behind. So always steer your car straight.

That being said, always cautious for motorcycle speeding from behind. Especially when you are taking a turn or switching lanes. They wouldn’t stop even when you already gave turn signal. Hell, they even drive more faster with your turn signals turned on.

Give motorcycles space for a way through. They struggle every inch of space available between cars, pedestal and any object to fit through. Accidental bumps and scratch will occasionally happens.

Visualize an invisible red carpet exclusively for motorcycles.

If they get annoyed, they will give you the angry stare. Try not to be intimidated. Just ignore and drive away.

Turn signals are rarely used and usually turned on after they made the turn.

They are invisible to car horns as car horns are invisible to them.

Judge them by how they look. Person who wears expensive helmets or rides more expensive motorcycle usually have better behavior.

Identifying Akamsi

Observe the motorcycle going the opposite way on the pedestal of a one-way road.

Compared to the other 3 bikers on the right side, he is more casual looking with jeans and no helmet on. Try to spot this kind of people; The ones without helmet or jacket, or in a pair of sandals and pants, are most likely to live within the area. Those kind of people think of themselves as a direct descendant from ancient families of high noble lords that once ruled the surrounding area, so law don’t apply to them. Locals calls them ‘Akamsi’, a short for ‘anak kampung sini’, that translates to ‘the kid from around the block’.

Like nobles, they surely do anything they will, you name it: making right turns straight across from the left side. Going the wrong way. Cutting your line then driving slowly. Sudden breaking. Going through a red light. U-turning on any opening available. And they do that with a flat face.

With that in mind, please humble yourself if you meet one or more on the road.

Motorcycle convoys

People in groups think they have more power upon others. So don’t challenge that power. Drive slower and give them way. But if they ride slower than you, try to pass carefully.

Try not to:

Block their path. Annoy them Run over them

If you ends up having trouble with them, either your fault or theirs, you will end up sucking their cocks and getting butt-rape from the whole gang.
