Wrong way

Driving the wrong way poses risks to motorists.

Jesus Isok, 73, recently went on a road trip after driving a family friend to Bicol. He, his wife, daughter, and her friend then proceeded to Leyte to see the famed San Juanico Bridge.

Passing through Gandara town in Samar at night, thick fog reduced road visibility, so Isok relied on the street map app on his smartphone for driving directions. Suddenly, the road became bumpy, so Isok stepped on the brakes.

The family was shocked when they got out of the car. They had driven onto a bridge that was under repair, and the two front wheels of their vehicle were dangling over the edge. Had Isok not stopped, they would have plunged into the river below and possibly been killed.

They asked for help, and local people pulled the car back onto the bridge.

The incident was featured on the TV show KMJS. When asked how they ended up in that precarious position. Isko said there was no roadblock to the broken bridge, so he continued driving.

Local officials said the steel barriers blocking the entrance to the bridge may have been stolen that night. On the other hand, Superstitious folks claimed the area is a portal leading to the mythical city of Biringan, where fairies live, and its bright lights and tall buildings mislead motorists into driving there.

If a car could end up hanging over the edge of a broken bridge, a motorcycle could get jammed inside a crowded subway train, as shown in a viral video on X as the New York Post reported.

The rider did not crash his bike but deliberately rolled it onto the train. A video showed the bulky thing blocking the aisle and its straphanging owner refusing to move it to make room for other passengers.

He also told boarding commuters to use another door to get in, yelling, "There's no f–king room," according to NYP.

How he was able to bring his bike onto the train in the first place when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority bans such vehicles on board was a mystery.
