Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

[jojomonsalud]

experienced something a bit similar to this, at the parking bldg entrance of megamall. some just don't know alternate merge protocol.

on another note, i also notice many cars would beep their horn when the traffic light turns green... are they presuming the driver in the front car is color blind?

yung iba kasi gusto lagi sila nauuna ayaw na ayaw magbigay

^ agree with this.

also, 5 seconds is a bit long to ask the rest of the motorist to wait for you to finish your personal chores inside your car.

most traffic lights have barely a minute for the green so 5 seconds means at least 2 cars on the queue being denied their passage.

just be curious that stopping on a red sign is not the same as yielding on a bay or parking.

5 secs may be long pero karamihan kasi 1 or 2 secs, bubusina na agad. kaka-palit ko lang kaya ng gear... kainis naman... tsaka, di ako laging dumadaan don a intersection na yun. Hinihintay ko talaga maging green bago ako mag-move...

What really bothers me is when the one in front of the intersection is taking his/her sweet time to get going. You are directly behind him/her. But you are patiently waiting. Then there's this d-bag behind you honking his horn like crazy.

Anong iniisip nung mokong na yon? As if naman kaya mong i-convince yung nasa harap mo na bilisan niya magtimpla ng clutch.

Worse, you will be the one to bear the brunt of the loud honking. Hindi naman naapektuhan yung nasa harap mo.

Ang matindi niyan iyong approaching the intersection at mabagal ang takbo niya kahit wala nang sasakyan sa unahan niya. Tapos ay nasa gitna siya ng 2 lanes at hindi ka maka-overtake. Tapos magye-yellow na ang traffic light at bigla siyang sisibat, while crossing the intersection. Ikaw naman ay maiiwanan sa intersection. Kaasar talaga....

Uy! Madalas kong makita yan dito sa The Fort! Usually it happens sa intersection turning left from 3rd Ave to 32nd St.

+1 on this, as it often happens at the fort. I think in many of the cases, the driver is "lost" and doesn't know whether to go straight or turn, then when he sees the light turn yellow, just speeds off. This really ticks me off. I mean, stick to a single lane and turn on your hazards, damnit! Or better yet, stop somewhere and ask for directions or look at your maps-equipped phone (if you have one).

Yan talaga yun nakakapikon. ang bagal bagal tapos sabay beating the red light sila. Kaya pala bilisan and why do they have to block off everyone at the back? And it's so time consuming waiting for the whole cycle of traffic lights again

Ang nakakabadtrip pa diyan is kapag yung nasa unahan mo eh magccross ng intersection sobrang bagal kahit wala naman dumadaan.

Yesterday nga there was this SUV that was crossing an intersection ta's sobrang bagal niya eh wala namang dumadaan na kotse. Ewan ko kung nagaaral o sadyang bobo talaga. What I did was, uunahan ko dapat siya tapos nung nakita niya ako sa gilid nila ampota binilisan makacross. Tapos eto pa, pagcross niya binagalan niya ulit ... hindi na lang ako makaovertake nung time na yun kasi may mga nakapark eh. Badtrip. Siguro nananadya kasi binusinahan ko siya ng binusinahan. :bwahaha:

Okay sana kung nagiingat kasi may kotse na iniintay magpass, pero wala eh. As in CLEAR.

Another alarming trend I'm seeing at The Fort now are the drivers who park their cars by the sidewalk with the hazard light turned on. They then rush over to the ATM to withdraw cash. Happens a lot sa road where Marajo Tower is located and NetOne where BPI is located. Doon naman sa lobby ng Marajo at NetOne, ang daming nakaabang na taxi at private cars with tsupers/bf/spouse waiting for passengers/gf/spouse. Hindi pa napupuno yung The Fort, parang Makati-Ortigas na yung sikip.
