Tonight in the town of Tagoloan, Epril and I had a head-on crash with another motorcycle that was driving into oncoming traffic down our lane. Miraculously, luck and some incredible moment-of-disaster driving on my part saved Epril and me (and the stupid motherfucker who hit me) from no injury more serious than bruises. But, my motorcycle was completely shattered... the other guy's motorcycle was minimally damaged. Of course, since I don't have a Filipino driver's license (and my New York one expired... oops), I'm responsible for the whole thing. As far as the police (and the stupid motherfucker who hit me) are concerned, that's the end of the matter.
Looks like I've paid The Stupid TaxThe term I've coined for any financial or material loss due to ignorance, carelessness, or general stupidity. again. I really don't feel like talking about it other than that.
Last I heard, US driver's licences do NOT expire if you are out of the country at renewal time.
ReplyDeleteWhen a applied for my Philippine DL about ten years ago, my US license had expired. I showed LTO my passport. He noted that info on my application, I took t6he written test, and that was it.

Jil, hope you and Epril were now ok aside from the bruises and pains.. you take care guys... hope to see you around again soon.
ReplyDeleteGood heavens! I am glad you both are okay. Take care, my son.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you two weren't hurt, but it still seems unfair that the farang is always at fault in these accidents. Also, too bad about your bike, after all the work, time, and money that went into making it cherry.
ReplyDeleteWow, Jil, I am so glad you two are OK!!! That sounds really scary.

if you were in your own country it would never have happened. plus you have more money because of your countries unfare trade practices and hegemony . so damn right you should pay
ReplyDeleteplus you are grossly overweight with the co-ordination and reflexes of a drunk cancer patient.
there is a every probability anyone else would have avoided this accident, their fault or not
See Owen? I knew you weren't a man of your word: You said you wouldn't be back anymore because all of my readers are idiots. I guess you feel at home here.
ReplyDeleteI still want to know if this is the same Owen that I knew in Pattaya. I hope it is: I have a few juicy secrets I'd like to share about your daughter. Heheh.
