Arrogant police escorts in Quezon Avenue.

[SnakeEyes]

Sorry,what i meant to say is i did give them the leftmost lane. i was on the 2nd lane to the left. What they wanted to do was to leave the entire portion of the road going to the underpass to themselves.

Who wouldn't ignore them? i was already in Quezon avenue when they were in Elliptical circle pa. Also, it wasn't a fire truck or an ambulance. It was a police convoy. Any policeman whether in a patrol car or a motorcycle routinely use their sirens to the point that there is no way to distinguish their intentions for using it. Are they using it to signal you to stop or give way? Are they on official business? Are they trying to apprenhend you for a violation? Are they part of a funeral convoy?

I wasn't trying to beat any traffic light or committed any violation. The road was clear and nothing would have happened if they let me pass.

I can picture what you're trying to say. two lanes lang nga yung underpass along Quezon Ave na tatawid ng Edsa. Alangan nga namang mag U-turn ka pa sa Edsa to stay on Quezon Ave para sa kanila. kung talagang VIP sila eh di mag chopper na lang sila.

crazy thought... don't you just wish na sa last second nung pahampas na sya ng side mirror mo biglang nag sudden brake ka at napaswing sya sa ere at sumemplang. if you caught a policeman or hagad on video while hitting ur car, di ba pwede yun kasuhan?

[mbeige]

^^Post mo na lang dito para pagtawanan...

Saka mo kasuhan

[toyboxph]

sad to say, wala talaga rin akong respect sa mga convoys! i don't believe they have to be respected, do you? they are all DISGUSTING PEOPLE. abusado. tama kayong lahat: may araw din sila. if not here on earth, sigurado sa after life.

[Galactus]

One thing we all have to understand is that all motorized escorts are TRAINED to do just that...pave the way clear for their VIP's. Ganun talaga ang indoctrination sa kanila, and it will take quite sometime for them to act otherwise. The prudent thing to do is to give way really. Hindi naman makakabawas ng pagkalalaki mo kung sakali, and it's one of the things we have to take in stride.

Now things would have been different if they broke the law (like some armored vans do, e.g. beating the red light, taking a left/U-turn when forbidden or nakabangga ng ibang kotse without stopping). Then that is the time to really complain.

[tiquico]

Kung ako yun, I will just give way to the convoy. Ano ba yung ilang segundo/minuto na abala compared sa mapagdiskitahan ka and worse, dalhin ka pa sa presinto? Just curse them in private.

[vinrem]

Its better na tumabi na lang para iwas gulo, what if yung ini-escort nilang tao ay meron talagang death threat at that time, tapos humarang ka pa sa harapan nila, so they have to take offensive action against you and your car, pano kng pinutukan ka? sobrang sakit sa ulo yan.

[emms1121]

Hindi lang sakit ng ulo sir vinrem. Baka paglamayan ka pa.

The best thing to do is to stop and let them pass.

[badsekktor]

iwas gulo na lang tsong! i dont think you would want to argue with these people! mali man sila, wala naman tayo magagawa! unless gusto mo mamundok

[skyglider]

pagbigyan na lang natin sir... darating din yun time na sana wala ng escort ang mga pulitiko natin.... para maranasan nila kung paano maghintay sa trapik at ng masolusyunan nila...

ipagdasal na lang natin na sana nga dumating yung araw na yun...

That's what i hope. So that these politicians or bureaucrats can feel what ordinary citizens like us face everyday in our chaotic traffic situation. Awareness of a problem is the first step towards working for a solution.

[skyglider]

naalala ko tuloy... mga 3 to 4 months ago na siguro yun sa may Roxas Boulevard... may mga VIP na dumadaan, nauna na yung mga police escorts...

tumabi na ako sa 2nd to the right lane kasi medyo trapik... hinampas ba naman nung isang gago na escort yung trunk ko... inis na inis ako kaya lang wala akong magawa kundi magmura... naisip ko na lang, darating din yung araw nila....

[theveed]

Pareng Bender, Pilipinas to eh... It's not about who's right, it's about who has the means to inflict harm... I wouldn't have stopped the car as well just for them, especially if I'm not driving slow to begin with...

Sa Pinas, dapat may nakamount ka na videocam na umaandar lagi sa harap at likod ng oto just to be able to have "proof" of any wrongdoings of people in power (aka public servants).

I wonder if/when videocams/memory will be cheap/small/large enough so that more people can do this.

Actually, not just 'people in power' but 'anybody'.

[BlueJazz]

wala ka talgang magagawa sa mga abusadong escort.. akala mo isusugod sa ospital ang mga amo nila.

bakit nde kaya tayo magkaisa at magkabit lahat tayo ng wangwang..tapos daan tayo sa batasan ng lahat bukas wangwang.. para malaman nila kung gaano nakakairita ang tunog nito..

[theveed]

hehe paramihan ng wangwang nalang hehe

[HardCharger]

Hi All!

Think of it this way Dude, would you want to be around those yokels when (just a matter of time) they are ambushed and blown to smithereenes?

:asta: :burn: :boom1:

Let them pass and watch the fireworks when it happens.

[Fast Eddie]

ang maganda dito bigyan na lang ng daan at tumabi at mag slowdown.
kasi, isa-dalawang minuto lang naman mag slow down tayo eh.
isa pa wala kang laban sa mga ito kahit sino pa sila. sakit lang ng ulo,
at masisira lang ang araw mo sa mga ito. ang hirap kaci sa atin mga
pilipino di marunong magbigay, kahit konting respeto sa mga naka convoy.
so ayun kung gusto mong makipag matigasan, tayo din ang
talo. simpleng bagay masisira lang araw mo, sa dahil ayaw mong
magbigay ng daan. so guys, better exercise your little respect to these
convoys. it doesn't happen every day to your way.

Totoo to. Ano ba naman yung mag bigay kayo ng daan. Kesa ma abala kayo..

[Ienrant]

Kaya ayoko magbasa dito, nakaka asar lang mga yan.

and in the end talo parin kahit makipag matigasan sa mga yan.

[jrluz]

Pag nakarinig kayo ng sirena. Tumabi kayo kaagad. Para iwas abala. Kahit paman naka revo lang or adventure. o kaya mas lalo na kung convoy. kasi mga may katungkulan yan. at yung iba may mga baril yan. ano ba naman yung tumabi ka lang. kesa sa maabala ka. kaya pag nakarinig kayo ng sirena tabi kayo ka agad para iwas abala. May karapatan yan sila. kahit paman isang kotse lang. Wag lang kayo tatabi sa mga SET UP cars na naka wang wang. harangan niyo pa sila..
