I saw my first accident today. And my second. And my third. All in one day. After having been told that they do occur, but seeing very little evidence of them, today I saw three. All involving scooters. And that is surprising given how recklessly everyone seems to drive - but it is a collective recklessness with a common set of rules so very few people get hurt. Although in a crash-up between a scooter and a car the scooter will always come off second best.
But it also seemed to be the highlight of the UN Police's day. They screamed to the crash scene, sirens blaring, blue lights twirling to deal with the crisis - 'cos that's their mandate. :-)
Ah well another day in Dili.....
