Assuming that you had not been walking arround with a blindfold on, you were fully aware how crazzy the road behaviours were, then decided to jump on the back of a bike withhought a helmet. Unbelievably foolish behaviour. Had you been 50 yards further ahead when that fella went down, he may well have taken you down with him. At best, probablly a hospital visit in a foreign country, at worst, doesn't bare thinking about. And then claimig this to be an awareness piece for others, crazy
