I got into an accident the first day I drove here, it's a headfuck how the whole negotiation and bargaining thing goes down. Little scrote on his brand new bike (80 on the clock) saw me being hesitant turning left, in the middle of the road, not knowing that if you have a truck you just plow on into them, and he disappeared under the front bumper. Didn't touch the car, just slid under. I got out straight away and had a look, we offered him a trip to the hospital, which is a good wheeze for taking him and the bike away from the locale, but no. Bit of a scratch on his foot. He was wearing his helmet. The whole group haggle, interested passers-by, some gave me advice in English, some were pro and some were con. Many hours in the sun, if you can bring more people in who are on your team, you phone up all your nearby family and advocates and the negotiations go on. In the end I just gave money for it to go away, more so than I should, but the bullshit was mentally draining, even after the cops arrived it was mostly sitting in the hot sun as various parties passed forth on their idea of the proceedings. I thought Laos was bad to drive in.
