^exactly. dito sa pinas kailangan mo gulatin para maka-merge ka. kung magsisignal ka didikit nung isa bumper nila dun sa kotse sa harap para hindi ka makapasok.

Aminado ako, kapag may gusto magcut sa lane ko hindi ko talaga pinagbibigyan, lalo ako tumututok sa harap ko pero not all the time. Kapag alam kong kailangan talaga mag merge example, from 2 lanes to 1 lane, alternate dapat, bigayan. Pero kung napakalinaw na may pila or slow moving tapos may ccounterflow bigla tapos sisingit sa harapan mo, nako, makikita ko palang sa side mirror nagiinit na ulo ko. hinding hindi siya makakapasok sa harap ko, dun siya sa likod ko.

+1... ako din pag lipat lane.. di ako nag sisignal.. humahataw mga sasakyan eh pag nagsignal ka lane.. i just make sure.. hindi exacto lang ang distance... and forsure hindi niya kailangan mag slowdown pag nagmerge ako..

anyways.. nakwento ko ito sa uncle kong nakatira sa US... ganun din daw sakanila.. pagnagsignal ka.. bibilis din yung sasakyan sa tabi mo.. hehe

Hehe. Ako baliktad.

Nagsisignal ako kapag magpapalit ng lane.

Nagbibigay din ako kapag nag ssignal yung nasa harapan ko, pero binibilisan ko at nagbubusina kapag may nagbibiglaang change lane. Pero kapag clearly naghahanap ng bangaan yung nag cchange ng lane, pinagbibigyan ko na. Not worth the hassle.

Appropriately placed road signs and lane markings that are ignored.

I mean, let's face it, some folks (or should I say a lot of folks) behind lane markings and road signages nowadays do not have logic on their side when they execute their plans. The results are signages being too small to read, or too late to read, and lanes leading to nowhere, or to accidents just waiting to happen.

It's not that I'm espousing anarchy by disregarding traffic signs and lane markings because they're illogical -- depending on your logic or if you're a PUV -- but it's doubly bad motoring if you disregard traffic signs and lane markings when they completely make sense.

Was leaving Subic Bay for Manila yesterday when there was a vehicle, about 3 cars in front, just waiting to break free from the rest of the pack -- but doing it in the least responsible fashion. He was trying to overtake on the right (shoulder) where the big signboard said "No overtaking on shoulder". Then, he tried to muscle his way thru by positioning to overtake on a solid yellow center line.

Grrr! Anyhow, he got a dose of his medicine when the van he overtook prematurely and cut into did not react. His SUVs' collides with the van as he overtakes.

That train is never late!!.... as expected going home to Bulacan for the weekend.... bumper to bumper traffic along Quirino Highway approaching a bridge which will cross over to San Jose Bulacan. this 2 lane highway funnels into a single lane as it snakes into this bridge crossing.... and while the rest of the civilized world waits in line for 30 - 45 mins... I see idiots (from my lan) from my side mirror counterflowing into the opposite direction.... kapal noh...

What takes the cake is an freekin 10 wheeler truck that tries to cut into the space infront of me.... as in trying to singit to the max.... I roll down my window and ask the pahinante...." Anong plano nyo? sisingit kayo?" the Pahinante affirms.... I say.." di na kayo nahiya? lahat nakapila dito..."

Phinante mumbles somethings.....(probably how kinakawa silang mahihirap..hahaha) but I just close down my window and make sure when I move forward... I do it slowly to give the vehicle behind me a chance to close the gap so the idiot cant get in.....

Ako rin, but I oftentimes encounter this at the Ortigas underpass. Yung pag-traffic left side, marami magcocounterflow. Then sisisngit nalang.

What I do is, I leave a gap between the left side of my car sa gutter. Then didikit ako sa harap na car (I never leave a 1/4 car gap, mga 1-2 feet lang yung difference ng space sa akin and sa car in front), tapos when one car attempts to get in, ihahataw ko then mag-move ako to my left side para lang hindi siya makapasok. I don't know if you get the picture pero basta ganun.

Tapos kapag pasok na ako, then I notice that the car behind me has a very near gap between his bumper and mine babagalan ko para yung asshole na pilit pumapasok eh hindi talaga maka-enter.

Isa pa, I was traversing through Kalayaan Ave. If you are familiar with the place, alam niyo naman siguro how easy it is to get to 50-60kph there. Then I stumbled upon this pick-up doing around 20? Tapos nasa-GITNA SIYA NG KALYE. What the motherf#cking hell. I tried flashing my lights then beeping, ayaw tumabi. Tapos after a while, medyo nakakita ako ng gap ... although very tight sa left side niya. Downshifted then floored the pedal while beeping continuously.

Wala naman akong thing sa mga mababagal na kotse, pero sana ilagay niyo sa lugar. Hindi naman lahat katulad niyo na gusto mag-cruise on a hot afternoon.

Same here, most of the time i signal my intent even if it means the car lazily following on the next lane will speed up and block me off like an idiot. I also don't signal and switch at the same time (yung ibang drivers kasi, sabay na yung signal at lipat without even checking properly if they are being given space). Also, when a person signals properly and waits to go to my lane, and is coming from a proper lane just as well, i will slow down and give way as long as there is space; kung katabi ko na siya and my car is ahead, i'll just go ahead (huwag lang ako pinahin at magpumilit).

"Naghahanap buhay lang daw"

I also do that when there are those who are counterflowing or are coming from the the wrong lane (i.e. shoulder) and are trying to merge with the proper lane. I keep to my line and allow enough speed to ensure the person following behind me also doesnt get cut off. Yung mali kasi ng ibang drivers is that when they are being forced by another car to cut in, they avoid them by speeding up and moving the car off their line so in effect, this allows the car to cut off the person following behind in most cases, unless the following car is likewise stubborn and will stick like an eel to the car in front.

I also do that, mostly mga PUV's yan, minsan bubusinahan ko kasunod ko para wag magpasingit. then ga-buhok ko susundan yung para di makasingit then pag lampas ng nguso ko babagalan ko para makasunod yung nasa huli ko at para mainis din yung mga bwiset na sumisingit.
