It wasn’t nearly as scary to ride in a tuktuk as you’d think it’d be.
A tuktuk is a tiny three-wheeled motorcycle-rickshaw hybrid, with no seat belts – just a bench and a couple of grab handles. Crush zone in case of accident? That’d be … you.
And they’re driven on streets where the lane markings – and even the idea that you drive on the left — are just kind of suggestions, for people who don’t seem to want suggestions.
But I found it to be a rather un-scary experience.
That’s probably because I’m tall. My eyes end up almost entirely in the canopy that covers the driver and the passengers, and I can’t see most of the things we almost collide with.
Ah well – any tuktuk ride you walk away from is a good tuktuk ride.
