Bad judgement?

Is it better judgement to try and chase the idiot who bumped you? This guy just tried that and may end up losing his car

Two vehicles turn turtle in San Juan and Marikina


Two vehicles – a car and an SUV, turned turtle in separate places in the Metropolis at dawn Sunday, the first the result of a car chase and the second because it’s driver was drunk.

Atom Araullo of ABS-CBN reported that the first accident occurred on the westbound lane of Ortigas Ave., San Juan where Jeff Sy said his blue Mercedes Benz was chasing a white Mazda.

Sy refused to give a comment on camera but he earlier said he was chasing the Mazda after the Mazda hit his car in the Shaw underpass and did not even stop and assess the damage wrought on his Mercedes Benz.

Instead, Sy said, the Mazda revved its engine and sped away along EDSA until it turned off into Ortigas Ave.

Sy said he was unable to keep up and his own car turned turtle, although he was left unharmed.

A Suzuki Jimny Wagon also turned turtle at the U-turn slot along Marcos highway in Marikina just after the accident in San Juan.

Police said the driver of a red SUV with plate number XHJ-241 after encroaching on the approaching lane at the U-turn slot along Marcos Highway.

Of the three passengers of the SUV, only the driver was injured. His injuries were restricted to scratches on his hand.

The driver was identified as call center agent Billy Nabalta.

Nabalta was unable to present any driver’s license and had apparently been drinking.

Charges of reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property will be filed against him by the police.

Jeff must have been pushing it really hard to get his Benz to roll over.

IMO, he should have just jotted the plate # of the Mazda and used connections/pulled strings to trace the owner of the offending vehicle and file a case against him. Even if he was able to corner the other vehicle, the driver might have a gun or something. Mahirap na.

True. Unless he hit/avoided something.

Agree. Plus, for the ignorant/unaware offending party, if he was not aware of the damage he caused, will try and run away from someone chasing him, thinking that someone would try to do him harm.

not bad judgment to give chase per se.

but it's bad judgement if you create a hazardous situation for yourself and/or others by getting into a high speed chase or accosting a potentially armed driver.

like someone else already said, give chase only to the extent that you are able to get his plate number....then let the authorities handle it :hang:

it is always a bad judgement to chase those.. get the plate number and file a case.

In this case, yes. Napalaki pa tuloy ang damage sa car niya, if not total wreck pa. Siguro dapat tantiyahin din kung kaya/worth it habulin yung nakabangga.

Nangyari na minsan sa amin yan. Nakastop kami sa intersection waiting for the light to turn green. Eksakto nung maggreen light, yung Isuzu ELF na nasa likod namin biglang nag-overtake sa kanan namin kaso pagpihit niya sa kaliwa pabalik sa lane namin nasagi nung puwet nung truck niya yung right front fender namin. Di huminto yung mokong at hinabol namin for about half a kilometer. Nung naabutan namin at i-confront yung driver, wala daw siyang naaalalang may nabangga siya previously at siya pa ang galit! Habang nakikipagtalo kami ng tatay ko with the driver, tumawag ng pulis yung nanay ko sa nearby police station (mabuti na lang at meron a few meters away lang). Pumunta kaming lahat sa presinto at nung aktong gagawin na yung pulis blotter, aba biglang parang maamong tupa yung ogags na driver at nagmamakaawa na wag na siyang kasuhan. Sa sobrang ngitngit namin pinatuloy pa rin namin yung blotter para magtanda siya. Nainform din yung employer niya through our insurance at sila na ang nag-usap, basta kami wala kaming shinell out na pera sa pagpapaayos nung bangga na sa casa ginawa.
