I think this, umm, technique that I employ definitely has at its core an extreme vigilance regarding any type of moving vehicle. I like to know where everyone is at all times. I even look both ways before crossing one-way streets.

In the places where I spend most of my time, traffic is chaos and whatever rules may exist will never be enforced. So, keeping my head on a swivel is compulsory. Of course it’s no absolute guarantee of safety.

Humorously, I once punched the door of a car that was driving through a pedestrian area in Istanbul, and that is my only car-related injury so far.

I don’t think he’s hammered. It looks like he was using the drop curb to avoid damaging his wheels.

Why or how he got on the pavement in the first place is anyone’s guess.
