Tempers seem to be flaring on the road out there. Pent up emotions from lockdown, I guess. It's ironic though, given that the traffic is so very light compared to the usual Bali gridlock. I turned out onto the road with plenty of time, really, but this guy was coming from behind so fast that he was soon bearing down on my ass and sounding his horn quite excessively. So I dutifully moved out of his way, albeit very excessively slowly. Do you think this made him angrier yet? Lol.
Well, I guess people figure that if the coronavirus ain't gonna kill em, they'll find some other way to do it themselves. It was an odd occurrence, though, because traffic spats are actually very uncommon in Bali. Too hot maybe. Or maybe people in general are just too pleasant to bother with such foolishness. Really, one almost never hears about or sees road rage here.
Nor do they understand that an attitude such as that displayed by the motorist this morning would be likely enough to get him beaten at best and killed at worst on the roads of America. Ignorance can indeed be bliss.
