Ako na inatrasan, ako pa sinisingil!

[ChevyChaser]

That law is not just exclusive to Manila. Here in California whoever is behind is at fault. Stupid law, I agree! Kaso sometimes people suddenly switch to reverse. Twice or thrice nangyari na sa akin, somebody in front decided they wanted to go backwards. Buti na lang alert ako and I honked my horn. Supot ang stock horns, buti may Bosch Europas na ako. Pero wala rin magagawa pag bingi ang driver. Pays to keep the distance na lang.

This is absolutely correct! In cases like this, it is always ASSumed that the driver behind is at fault, even if he were stopped. Why? well firstly. again, it is ASSumed that NO DRIVER WILL MOVE HIS VEHICLE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION or IN REVERSE. Secondly, it is ASSumed that the driver behind will keep a good 2-3 meter or half a cars length clearance from the vehicle in front. And Lastly, it is ASSumed, in this case, that the driver behind had moved his vehicle before the guy in front, thence, ikaw ang naka-bangga at hindi inatrasan. Unless you have witnesses to contradict this.
This rule may be stupid but like everybody says..."The LAW IS THE LAW".

I'm not taking sides here, it's just the fact. We, as responsible drivers, should take actions to defer incidents and inconveniences like this, even if other WILL NOT. Next time, keep a good safe distance, escpecially if the vehicle in front has a limited vision.

hay
parang ako paabante pa lang ako ng isang taxi eh binunggo likod ko sabi nya inatrasan ko daw cya

cya pa malakas ang loob na kesyo daw ba bat ako umatras sabi ko di ako umatras medyo incline un syempre pag buwelo ka may konting atras yun

pagdating ng pulis malakas pa rin ang loob nya pinipilit ang gusto pagpunta namin sa presinto umatras kasi sabi ko kung pagpilitan mo yang gusto mo pa hold nating dalawa lisensya natin ako hindi ko kailangan ng kotse para mabuhay pamilya ko at hindi ito related sa work ko

tapos yun cya din smuko kasi natakot at ito pa "sorry, pero ala ko pera pang mabayd sa damage eh, mahina pa kita ko". hay buti na lang at gasgas lang at worth 800 pesos nagastos ko
add to experience na lang

tsk tsk kaya pag may public utility vehicle sa harapan ko i always keep my distance kahit traffic pa or bumper to bumper

[hominid]

the stupid Filipino rule that the one behind is always the one at fault

As long as hindi ka atrasan.

I keep on thingking one day I will totally abandon driving dahil sa batas na ito.
