Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

Parang alam ko rin 'yang red Pajero na yan.

Speaking of the BMW, have you seen him lately, Vinj? Di ko na kasi nakikita. I wonder if he already placed his RP plates back to where it should originally be -- at the back of the car, not somewhere inside the car or inside the house covered with dirt.

Kilala mo rin yung red Pajero. Gusto ko nga i-PM pero di ko kasi kilala yung mga members dyan sa isang site.

Yeah, havent seen the white bmw as well. Tinakot mo ata. :D

Just today, i almost hit a Cefiro who suddenly turned from the main road to a side street along Examiner road. Walang ka signal signal and biglang nag turn without slowing down. I guess he also miscalculated my speed or just plain did not see me.

Why is it that some people have the nerve to get mad at those who are "slow" to move out of their parking slots. Just last week, I had to remind a spoiled brat that he had no right to harass me because I was still arranging my groceries. Long story short, I went back inside the mall to get some coffee & relax. I already paid for the slot for the entire day. I can't be obligated to rush myself just so I can accomodate a stranger who lacks manners. If you can't wait, go find another slot. 

Baka yung BMW rin may-ari nung orange BMW na wala rin plaka sa harap na nakita ko days ago..

Badtrip yung mga bigla nagoovertake sa blind corner or sa mga inclined roads. Buti nalang kanina mabagal ako. Meron taxi nagoovertake tapos nasa lane ko na! Kung mabilis bilis lang ako malamang sapul.

I agree with you on this. All anyone waiting on a slot should do is just, well, wait. He can ask if you're leaving but then that should be it.

On the flipside, however, people who know they are being followed should give a signal whether or not they are actually leaving or are just depositing stuff in the car. A lot of times some folks can not even acknowledge the waiting car and wave it off. Until the driver/passenger leaves and the waiting driver is dumbfounded.

There should really be a balance in this:
- If you're not leaving, do signal the person who is following and waiting.
- If you surely are going to leave, it's okay to set up and get yourself settled down, send out a text message or do a quick phone call before moving out of the slot. However, it's also "pakikisama" if one doesn't take their super sweet time if someone is waiting and the parking lot is packed during a mall rush hour (yung tipong more than 5 minutes pa mag bababad sa kotse for no good reason at all pero aalis naman talaga). But either way, tama na walang karapatan magalit yung naghihintay. He can get irritated for all he wants inside his car while suffering from the impatience of waiting but it most cases it's wrong if he has the nerve to get down and tell off the person who rightfully has the parking slot.

Ginagawa ko kinakausap ko yung driver na kung pwede iwanan yung kotse ko sa likuran nya dahil kailangan ko na talaga mag CR at lalabas na. Pag talagang just taking their super sweet time, para hindi na sya maabala malamang payag sya ng switch.

Depende na lang I guess, this is more forgivable than turning it on during heavy downpour.
I do it too pag paatras ako mag park tapos may nakita ako parating.

Usually though, lalo na pag may sumusunod sa likod, I just signal either left or right (kung saan yung park slot) and most people get it naman at di na didikit masyado.

Problema kasi dito sa Pinas yung iba ayaw gumamit ng Signal light. Minsan kabago bago pa nga ng kotse biglaan na lang kakaliwa-kakanan wala man lang ka-signal signal. Kasama sa bayad ng kotse niyo yan gamitin niyo naman.

Agree ako dyan sir. daming bago sasakyan pero parang mga mangmang sa simpleng paggamit ng signal light. ewan ko ba kung nagtitipid sa effort na mag on ng signal light. parang mga karamihan sa tricycle na bigla-bigla na lang lumiliko or mag u turn pag may nakitang pasahero. hays!

in our area most of the tricycle drivers don't even bother turning their nightlights on, same with some jeepney drivers. kaya two weeks ago wasak yung isang tricycle sa kotse ng masalubong siya.

Maybe the problem is that I don't get pissed if it's the other way around? If someone doesn't want the "inconvenience" of waiting, he should hire a driver.

Besides, I'm certain that the parking wasn't full. It just so happened that my slot was near the mall's entrance since I dropped by early.
