how about this scenario .. given the current situation .. you're in traffic .. you get rearended .. (i doubt how much damage it can do since you were in traffic) .. you go out .. you check the car who bumped you .. you have this guy apologizing at you and thanking you all at the same time .. you find out that his life was being threatened .. and this action of bumping your car .. and for this person .. it felt like it saved his life .. would your reaction be .. "pare, f* you .. tinamaan mo auto ko" .. or .. "pare, buti ligtas ka" ..

i wonder kung ano reaction nung nabangga ng kaibigan ng unang poster ..

Again, with no intention of confronting your stand, my point simply is, if the carnappers have a gun and is already pointed at you, then just calmly alight from the vehicle and give it up. Even a Porsche is definitely not worth a limb, or worse, a life.

Now, if they're merely threatening you and your quick assesment tells you that they're merely trying to intimidate you, then you can take the risks and do what you have to do: i.e. honk like you've never honked before, or press the alarm, BUT PLEASE do not make another mistake of bumping the other vehicle(s) around you.

What if bumaba yung other driver at siya pa ang napagdiskitahan, sasakyan n'ya yung pinasok or worse, siyas sinaktan? You can never tell what these hooligans' minds are up to.

eto nangyari lang sa panaginip ko. May humarang daw sa amin tapos babarilin na kami. Sa takot ko hindi ko alam gagawin habang nagdrive. Nagtakip nalang ako ng mukha pero i was still able to drive. Nakakatakot siguro talaga ang experience na ganun. Sa panaginip palang nagpapanic na ako hehe

Bro, wag na wag kang magpapanic, baka mabangga ka at mahulog sa kama.

Dika ka nga nabaril, may bukel ka naman.

nakakatakot talaga, kaya nga ako kino-consider ko na bumili ng 2nd hand exped na may dummy ham radio antenna. sigurado magdadalwa isip ang carjacker na pag-tripan ka at ma-save buhay mo, yun nga lang papatayin

.

it's that reasoning kumbakit lumalakas ang loob ng mga carjackers eh, syempre mas mabuti pa din yun unpredictable ang reaction ng would-be victims. mayroon pa din 20% chance na mag-go the other way yun fate, although the chances are really slim.

I have a nine-month old daughter, I'll pass up that chance,

I can still buy another car if i'm still alive. 20% is way too small. Baka nung binata ako, I could "stupidly" take that chance.
