The traffic here in the Philippines is unbelievable.  As our mission president says, lines for lanes, stop signs, speed limits, pedestrian crosswalks are all suggestions.  Nobody has to follow them.  And nobody does.  It's every man for himself!  For example you could be turning right and a tricycle would zoom past you on the right at the same time.  The picture shows a red vehicle nosing out into the traffic. He wants to turn left so the accepted practice is to edge your way out until you are so much in the way that the traffic will stop and let you through.  Notice the tricycle which is also doing the same thing.

      This is outside our home, a quiet street.  Manila traffic is even worse.
