Of my journey to Budalangi and the driver's seat

I have a phobia of sitting next to the driver in any vehicle, be it public or private. I came to realize that these drivers have a way of securing their side in case of an accident. They will ‘give out’ the passenger side to whatever they are crashing into, be it another vehicle or a building. I don’t know about you but those are the results that my research yielded!

Because of that, I always try my best to sit on the driver’s side just in case of an accident. Okay, I know you will tell me that if it’s my last day on earth, nothing can prevent it. Fine, I agree, but let my last day be on the driver’s side. If that side is hit, then I know it was actually my last day, ‘sio ati dere alinipeana’.
