Safety

[baiskee]

to admins and mods,

i think we should have a "safety" thread for the tsikot community.
a simple reminder lang to our fellow motorists, passengers...there are incidents kasi na maaari nating maiiwasan if we practice safety.

if we love our family, its not too late... it should start from us.

yah I agree. let me start:

how do I perform CPR?

[OTEP]

OB,
The first question is WHEN do you perform CPR. It might sound trivial but a friend of mine was put in such a predicament last year.

So in the interest of life preservation, she peformed CPR. Unfortunately doing CPR is very uncomfortable [and painful] when done on a living and coherent person. Up to now we still joke about that incident.

Child seats, I'm amazed on how much excuses parents make as to why their child should'nt use them...

The most common "lumaki naman tayo wala nyan ah" - Stupid reason.

Even worse are people who refuse to wear seatbelts just because "magugusot suot ko."

Regarding CPR, si Doc na bahala dyan, but a member of Kotse.com posted several pics that I kept and printed... Left copies sa shop, bahay at kotse hehe.

Safety also includes road courtesy like signalling before changing lanes; merging smoothly with moving traffic; following traffic lights, and other supposedly basic things that we sometimes take for granted because we are in a hurry, in a bad mood, fatigued, etc.

seatbelts and child seats are very very important, to be sure.

but you know what is so completely unsafe and irresponsible, yet i hear it discussed so casually and accepted on this forum?

Even worse are people who refuse to wear seatbelts just because "magugusot suot ko."

dahilan naman ng dad ko is "nasasakal ako eh".

sarap din siya sakalin pag sinasabi niya yan. buti sana if his head is hard enough to protect him once his head hits anything hard inside the car, eh hindi naman. given the way that he drives pa, he ABSOLUTELY needs a seatbelt.

sa subic lang siya voluntarily magsusuot ng seatbelt. gahhhhhhh.

i nominate my dad sa "you can't teach old dogs new tricks" category.

[Elroi]

OT: haha.. ganyan din ako dati, pasaway.. tas' pag naobliga magsuot, nasa ilalim ng kili-kili nakalagay at di sa shoulder.. pero since i witnessed an accident a few years ago, i started wearing one and wear it properly..

sumobra naman yata ngayon, kasi pag-start ko pa lang ng engine suot agad seatbelt kahit sa kabilang block lang punta. and i never roll hanggat di naka-seatbelt lahat ng sakay ko..


back to topic: always have a first-aid kit sa vehicle... you'll never know when you need one..

Ayos ito! Ang galing ng gimik ng (lalaking) na CPR, tama ba?.... hehehe

Sir may ambubag naman (para hindi mag mouth to mouth).

Kaya daw pala parang napapadilat sa sakit yung tao habang nagche-chest compressions siya...

Hindi naman makapagsalita dahil intubated.

[alwayz_yummy]

ko i have child seat...lagi nga ako tumitingin sa baby section,, forget na mga JDM/sparco/recaro seats..and pag tumitingin ako ng new car, rear child seat anchor hinahanap ko agad!

and n those people who says unsafe ang JDM:

safety come from with-in, a check-up and regular maintance is the key..di kasalanan ng sasakyan kung pangit pagkaconvert sa kanya, biktima lang sila ng mapanamantalang negosyante!

kaya kung bibili ng converted, at may katulad na LHD, take pictures of the original LHD then compare mo sa converted.. kung pareho, safe, kung 90-99%, may mapapagawa ka pa, kung 89% below: maghanap ka ng iba, unless willing siya ibigay sa yo ng bagsak presyo at madami kang papagawa.

kahit anung sasakyan, LHD, or converted, bago/luma basta di alaga, unsafe un!

[badkuk]

ung pinakasimple siguro would be to always use your signal lights -- and to make sure they are working all the time

[CVT]

Sorry,- I grossly misinterpreted.
I thought it was an emergency situation...

Thanks for the clarification.

[SIZE=3]Traffic Right of Way Rules are:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]1) First Time Vehicle Rule[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]At all intersections without "stop" or "yield" signs, slow down and prepare to stop. Yield to vehicles already in the intersection or about to enter it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]2) Same Time Vehicle Rule[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]At all intersections without "stop" or "yield" signs (or with stops in all directions), yield to the vehicle on your right if it has reached the intersection at the same time as your vehicle.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]3) Stop Signs[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Stop at any limit line or crosswalk. Yield to all approaching vehicles on the ‘through street’ (a street on which the through movement of traffic is given preference), go only when it is safe for you to cross. Approaching vehicles should slow down and allow you to get across safely.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]4) Left Turn[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Signal left turn and yield to approaching traffic until it is completely safe to finish the turn.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]5) Rotonda[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3]Vehicles around the rotunda have the right-of-way over vehicles which are just about to enter.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]When entering a highway from a driveway, yield the right-of-way to traffic on the highway. Never insist on taking the right-of-way if other drivers are not following the rules, let them have the right-of-way even if it belongs to you to prevent possible accidents; however, do not always insist on others going ahead of you, slowing and stopping may delay the flow of traffic.[/SIZE]

ADD: When entering a highway coming from a Toll Booth/Gate, Gas Station, Street, etc. always start from the outer lane to "Speed Up" before merging to inner lane.

*Sometimes we do not notice that we are the cause of traffic or we slows down the traffic.*

Seat belts are actually for your safety! They hold you/keeps you intact incase of an accident or an emergency brakes. I have seen a survivor from a rolled car, as he had his safety belt on just think in this line and gather your points for the speach!

May alam ba ayo kung saan makakabili ng TIRE PRESSURE WIRELESS MONITORING SYSTEM sa atin?

dangerous.
you might get accosted for "defacing" your number plate.
there is an ugly name for that... i just forget what.
it carries a penalty.
even re-painting your faded number plates, to make them easier to read, qualifies as defacement.

why would the LTO let you use a different plate? if they let you modify why not the other 10million other vehicles?

Standardized ang plates for identification purposes. more cameras will be installed sooner or later and the system should be able to id all the vehicles plying all roads. rfid monitoring is being considered...
