Do you know how many people this moto-scooter holds? Make a guess.

If you look closely you will find that there are actually five people on this moto. Not only that the moto-scooter is overloaded but the baby is standing on his mum’s legs and only his mum’s arms for protection. Notice that only the driver has a helmet. Unbelievable, isn’t it?

This is a common sight here and it is one of the sights that gets me rather worked up. Talking on the phone while driving is another.

  1. Maybe the streets are so crowded they are never able to go much faster than walking pace?Lucy

  2. Hi Lucy… it was crowded only on this part because there is a junction. They crawled through the crowd on the wrong side of the road. After passing the bottle-neck there the moto-scooter drove away fast.

  3. That's really scary! And crazy! 🙂WW: Alligator Fun

  4. that's common in Asian countries, i think. the Philippines has more daring motorcycle feats.

  5. I know it's a common sight but, still, YIKES!!
