Playing Resident Evil on the road

There's a stretch of road, about a kilometer long on the way to my apt
from work. This particular stretch has big rectangular patches of
unfinished road at random. When you drive on the road, you try to
avoid these patches by swerving around them. They're not so bad that
you'll damage the scooter or hurt yourself if you drive through one of
them, but they're a nuisance nevertheless. You don't want to get
carried away and swing too much because there are other vehicles on
the road. So you end up memorizing, or trying to memorize the
locations of all the patches so you can anticipate and avoid them.
It's like playing a video game.

You know that scene in the movie "Resident Evil" where the guys are
trapped in a passageway and the lasers cut across the room and the
guys have to jump around to avoid getting chopped up? This stretch of
the road reminds me of that. And if you've seen the movie you know it
doesn't end well for the guys. It's the same here as well. After all
these patches of unfinished road, there's a big band of unfinished
road that stretches across the width of the road. And you can't avoid
it, so you end up going through it.

Game over.
