Teenager possy of 15 or so on mopeds came flying through an intersection today, running a red light. They nearly crashed into my car but then hit the car in front of me and bodies and mopeds flying up in the air. It looked like everyone was hightailing it off the street so they wouldn't get run over by traffic so I just went home. I thought about staying around since I was a witness but I don't speak Spanish anyway. These young guys break rules and laws, like even as pedestrians, and they get all butt hurt over it like everyone has to give them the right of way.
A few months ago some dude on a moped swiped the side of my car at that same intersection. Wasn't as bad as today, he just side-swiped me and teetered off to the side walk and almost hit a building but got stopped in time. He acted like he couldn't walk and his moto was busted and wouldn't start. In my opinion it was totally his fault, I had a green light and he had a red, and cars were stopped at his light so obviously the traffic light wasn't broken. Anyway I gave 5,000 pesos, about 100 bucks, and he was magically healed and rode off on his unbroken moped.
