Back on target… we have seen quite a few vehicles broken down on the side of the road in Asia. Back home, most people might use their hazard lights, put out a cone or pop the trunk to display an orange reflective sign indicating that their vehicle is disabled and that other motorists should use caution. Here in Asia, motorists use tree branches to signal that their vehicle could be a potential road hazard. That’s right, drivers walk off the road and either find a limb lying on the ground or hack a few off a tree with a machete and place them on the road in front of their car or truck. Until we knew what it meant, it was kind of strange seeing all of these branches in the road next to cars and trucks. The important thing to remember is that the branch has to have leaves on it, although I still question their reflective properties at night… if not, well I don’t know what that means yet. <\/p>\n
