Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

^Can't believe a driving school would say that. Talagang sila pa ha? Anyway, the best thing to do if wala na talagang makita, is to pull over, and then turn on your hazards. I'd also highly suggest to have your glass detailed as it greatly improves visibility on a heavy downpour. You won't even need the "High" setting on your wipers anymore.

nag driving school kasi ako sa red1
at ang sabi sa akin pagmalakas ang ulan at mahirap
ang visibility mag hazard daw ako para ma alert yung nasa likod ko
or kung hindi na talaga kaya mag hazard then mag park sa gilid.

teka mabalikan nga yung instructor ko dati, tinuruan yata ako ng mali hehe

Saken other way around yun turo. Wag daw mag-hazard kasi hindi malalaman ng nasa likod mo where you are going. If it's raining hard and mahirap ang visibility, better park somewhere na di makaabala sa traffic then tsaka ka na lang mag-hazard.

Er... ask for a refund pards.

Even foreigners question why the hell Pinoys drive with hazard lights on in the rain.

just turn off your hazard lights kung lilipat ka ng lane para makapagsignal ng left or right. or wag na mag change ng lane kapag naka hazard lights, minsan kasi hindi maiwasan mag hazard lights. marami din discussions about sa ganyang topic, mga hindi nagkakasundo about hazard lights :D

[Chikselog]

Hindi naman talaga kasi dapat. Sa ibang bansa kahit wala ka ng makita sa lakas ng ulan, walang naghahazard habang tumatakbo.

Or better yet, just install rear fog lights.

saan ba makikita ang official traffic rules ng pilipinas? balak ko mag-self-study

[rukawa11]

baka naman kaya ibaiba ang driving technique at defensive driving natin dahil sa nagsulputang mga driving school na yan sobrang dami na kasi ng driving school ngayon baka hindi pareparehas ang standard nila, tingin ko hindi naman lahat ng instructor dyan puro tama ang tinuturo

or yun nga maglabas nalang sila ng official traffic rules, parang wala ako nakitang ganyan

karamihan naman nung mga instructors sa mga driving schools di rin
nag-aral ng maayos sa pagmamaneho. mga oto lang din nila gamit sa lessons - para daw
di naman nakatengga.

There was one incident that I saw where a vehicle almost rear ended another vehicle due to hazard light.

The rain poured on Commonwealth and as usual, for some drivers, it's automatic to turn on their hazard lights. There were 3 cars ahead of me but they were on the other lane all with hazard lights on. 2 cars suddenly swerved to my lane and the 3rd car suddenly swerved to the other lane but it was really close. The reason, a stalled vehicle with the hazard lights on.

They probably thought it was just a slow vehicle with the hazard lights on, they didn't know that was the real hazard until they were almost closing on the vehicle yet it was still not moving.

So that means it really produces confusion from a real hazard to not. Plus it gives other drivers headaches too looking at those blinking lights.

and that is why they shouldn't put their hazard lights on. to distinguish those who really are having problems with their vehicles.

just turn off your hazard lights kung lilipat ka ng lane para makapagsignal ng left or right.

Mahirap 'to dahil ina-assume mo na yung driver sa likod mo ay constantly nakatingin sa turn lights mo. How do you know that the driver in front of you has switched his hazard lights off and activated his left/right signals?

Hehe. Mahaba-habang discussion lagi pag tungkol sa driving with hazard lights on in the rain dahil sa misconception na mas magiging "visible" ka in the rain with hazard lights on. Tingin ko more than enough na yung headlights + foglamps sa heavy rain. Better yet, don't change lanes kapag malakas talaga ang ulan.

[e-bundok]

literal na hazard lights kasi it poses hazard sa ibang motorists

kung gusto talaga maghazard lights during heavy downpour, better to add na lang another thermal flasher wired to the rear lights with a separate switch so the signal lights can still function the way these are meant.

[mateomarco]

saw many of those hazard users na nman kaninang umaga...nakakainis kasi kung sino pa yung nakahazard, yun pa yung palit ng palit ng lane...alanganin na magchange ng lane....

[A121]

a government owned ambulance suddenly comes from a corner and tries to merge into my lane. that is without any warning. the sirens and blinkers were off. the driver also tried to box me out of my lane. good thing i was travelling at a slow pace and i was able to brake early. then the ambulance driver drives erratically. haaay. these emergency drivers should be educated and trained. i've never encountered a privately driven ambulance like that.

I agree.

Ung iba nagha hazard pero mas hazardous naman ung driving nila kaysa sa low visibility weather. Naka hazard pero antulin naman magpa takbo. Ung iba di mapakali at palipat lipat ng lane.

Ung iba, they don't bother to turn on the headlights pero naka hazard.

Ung iba, they only turn on their park lights pero naka hazard.

[Retz]

switching lanes without turning on the signal light.

[s10pao]

switching lanes without turning on the signal light.

o kaya saka lang si-signal pag nandun na mismo sa kanto ng lilikuan nila

[Retz]

OT lang:

sa may jones bridge going towards lagusnilad, sinarahan na ung papuntang sm manila kaya wala ng stoplight you just go straight. ung 1st lane, PUJ lane un and to my surprise earlier pati ung 2nd lane nahuli din. PUJ lane din ba un? ung malapit na sa lagusnilad pababa.

1. Yung mga nakamotor na nakapagitna sa lane sa Edsa pero ang bagal, sana pag mabagal wag gumitna para maovertake kita.
2. Yung pag umuulan nakahazard, nakakatakot ito kasi hindi ko alam kung kelan siya liliko.
3. Yung nakapark tapos nakahazard, tapos pag babalik na sa kalye hindi parin tinatanggal ung hazard.
4. Ung nakasignal na kakaliwa o kakanan tapos salungat ang pupuntahan. shonga shonga!
5. Yung sisingit ng lane nang hindi nagsisignal o kahit man lang busina, (madalas sa mga PUV)
6. Yung pano magkumpol yung mga Bus sa may Edsa sa may parteng starmall Shaw tapos ayaw ka padaanin kung papasok ka doon pagkatpos ng underpass.
7. Yung hindi marunong magpark, bwisit kung di ang dikit dikit sa drivers side na pintuan. bigla mo nalang makikita may dent/ding ka na sa pinto.
8. Yung NakaHID sa Hindi pangHID na Headlights,(Isang rason bakit ako nagupgrade para pangbawi sa kanila.)
9. Yung mga driver na mahilig ng nakahigh Beam (Madalas ito sa mga nakadark tint.)
10. Yung mga masyadong tumututok sa likod mo. minsan kaya subukan ko magbrake bigla hehehe.
