What It’s Like Driving In The Philippines?
- Hits: 252
- Category: Philippines Driving
Driving here is unpleasant during the day and a nightmare at night. I now tend to resign myself to a long slow journey. Even when it seems clear to overtake there is always the risk that when you are passing a big hole appears in the road and you have got nowhere to go. As you have said, nearly all roads are single lane in each direction and made a lot narrower by crumbling edges.

But guess who paid?
