Another really f*cked up story...
Yea we tend to forget, from our idyllically safe foreign point of view, that real criminals even exist.

Now if it's nice not to generalize and think that all drivers would enjoy to pass 2 wheelers and bystanders from above, only criminals, my ex GF driving her WV Polo was confessing me a few days back she wanted to buy a jeep to do just that. She's a nice person, she wouldn't do it... But she thinks of it.
I think if we're as fragile as ever, we're less and less popular.
I would bet it's because of all of them electric and pedal bicycles that burn though every red light and drive through all streets, ways and sidewalks upside down and inside out, but also them locals moto drivers who, if they actually prove their skills by still being alive, spit on each and every traffic rule..
But hey, every time i give a thumbs down, a fake kick, or raise a fist, i contribute...
I think it's doable to get 4 wheelers to see us in a brighter light, sure not all but we can change some.
A little thumbs up here, a little raised palm + smile there, it all depends in what mood we are when we throw one leg over the bike...
Anyways...Le siècle ou nous vivons est un siècle pourri. - Tout n'est que lâcheté, bassesse, - Les plus grands assassins vont aux plus grandes messes - Et sont des plus grands rois les plus grands favoris. - Hommage de l'auteur à ceux qui l'ont compris, - Et merde aux autres.
