Whistle blows
We pull over
Photocopied law book opened
Broken law pointed out
Negotiations begin
Phone calls made
Negotiations continue
Passing truck fails to stop at blow of whistle
Truck pursued
More drivers stopped
Fingers point and heads nod
Friendly exchanges and drivers sent on their way
Lunch time sun beams down
Moving closer
Distancing self
Four broken rules and one "Falang" (foreigner)
Relative comes
Talk continues
Fine paid
And sent on our way.
(Motor cycle experience with host brother)
