Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

[nori]

dapat daw pinagbibigyan kasi naghahanapbuhay lang yung driver. kesa naman daw magnakaw sya.

apparently dalawa lang ang trabaho sa mundo. hahaha F them.

In contrast, I tried driving 2x to work at 3:30am last week on SLEX, the huge trailer trucks were traveling at the min allowed speed, but there was no hogging of the overtaking lane. Those who wanted to overtake did overtake, then miraculously returned to the middle lane. Respect for the truck drivers na nakasabay ko those 2 days.

buti pa truckers marunong umintindi ng rules. mga delivery vans at taxi drivers iisa lang ang bituka e.

Bad trip un mga truck and trailer van drivers sa osmena hiway going to manila. They hogged the inner lane and then turn right going to nagtahan.

anyways, one night nagbus ako (pascual liner), nagsakay si driver sa intersection (sa gitna mismo kaya walang makadaan) sa tapat ng S&R congressional ave (yung walang stoplight). bumisina ng matagal si grandia sa likod. nung nakalusot na si grandia dahil umandar na si bus nagbaba si grandia ng window and told something to the driver. pag overtake ni grandia sabi ni driver "parang di pilipino".

di ko gets logic nya. pag pinoy dapat pinagbibigyan yung pasaway? dapat pagbigyan kasi gabi naman? dapat pagbigyan kasi blue collar job si driver?

Sad indeed. Talagang marami na ang wala sa tamang pag-iisip sa pagbibigay-lugar sa kapwa.

Kanina lang sa BGC dala ko motor ko.. nasa harap ako ng intersection before the pedestrian with my wife.

The guy in a fortuner honks on me on a red light and signaling to turn left. ITS RED LIGHT YOU DUMB ASS!

I ignored it. And he honked again! Damn it.. i put my bike on a side stand and looked at him.. told him that its a red light.

He told me to move forward.. (this guy is really stupid not knowing the rules about pedestrian lanes).

Green light kicked in and he overtook me.. argh i failed to tell him his ignorance!

Red light yung paderetso and pa-left, or yung pa-left lang ang red (green ang pa-straight)?

Everywhere in BGC you are allowed to turn left on green "with caution". That could be his intention. Still he was wrong because it was a red.

All red sir.. the stop light has its own left green light.. hence it should be full stop

Yup, that's why i was asking so the situation could be clarified. Sa BGC, even if there's a left turn signal light, basta green yung paderetso, pwede rin mag left pag clear ang oncoming lane.

Paki palitan mo naman bulb mo ng brake light at baka hindi mo alam na wala ka nun. Nakakainis kang sundan kanina sa Makati exit ng skyway

trailers having bigger turning radii?

what i hate with motorists along quirino ave in manila ay bina-block ang intersection sa pedro gil and san andres (* osmeña highway). yes, green pa yung light pero puno na yung intersection till it goes yellow then red. in the end those at pedro gil st end up waiting for the intersection to clear in order to cross quirino avenue. but sadly green light na again for quirino ave.

nakakainis lang dahil majority dito ay private vehicles, at mga nasa 1M peso mark pa ang value. really cant buy common sense huh. sa osmeÑa highway-san andres naman mga trailers ang pasaway.

kaasar din ang mga nag o-overtake na kinain na ang linya mo at ini-expect nila na ikaw ang tatabi.

pati yung mga umaabang sa traffic light na nasa kabilang linya na sila.

grabe siguro sila ka busy at di puede mag-antay. baka sila din ang mga di pipila kung makakasingit.

Totoo ba yung kasabihang " malalaman mo magaling mag drive ang isang tao kapag nakaalis at nakauwi
sya sa bahay nila na hindi nabubusinahan"?

ako 4x nabusinahan nun isang araw :rofl:

medyo magulo nga yung article but my understanding was the writer immediately turned left when the light turned green and did not give way to the opposite lane vehicle? in that case mali si writer it seems as there was stoplight so the guy who was going straight on the opposite lane had right-of-way.

sa ngayon, i don't think so. palaging may nagmamadaling suv na parang sila may ari ng kalsada at kailangan tumabi lahat pagdaan nya.

[dreamur]

In BGC, the car going straight has the right of way when the light turns green. A visible sign on top of the traffic lgiht states that left turning vehicle should proceed with caution. But I have been harassed by drivers who blinked their projector lights on me just so they can make a left anytime they want to.

That was the footnote/correction of/on the article bro. He turned right away, supposedly with intentions of getting out of the way, however, he should have been the one to wait and turn when clear. That's what the signs say.

What the article was initially quoting was that the guy going straight needs to yield to the guy turning in the opposite lane if the latter is already in the intersection. What they failed to mention was that in this case, there were no stoplights. But in BGC's case, there are stoplights and there are signs saying what to do.

Yep. Pag walang stoplight, after pedestrians and bikes, the first to the intersection has the right has the right-of-way. Kung sabay sila, it's the vehicle to the right which is given priority.

rode a jeepney kanina which was interestingly fitted with a 7 inch lcd monitor / dvd player, and plays pinoy gangster(?) videos. one video caught my attention. the stars of the music video are jeepneys. yes freaking jeepneys with names that try to drift along aurora blvd and in another location which i presume was cogeo since cogeo ang route ng jeepneys in the vid.

half the jeepneys that were drifting were fully loaded - with passengers, may sabit pa nga eh. quickly swaying from one lane to another to achieve a partial rear skid. mga feeling takumi. the hell were those drivers thinking.

in fairness ang lakas ng mga makina nila to force their fully loaded jeepneys to rear skid. o kalbo lang ang rear tires. hahaha

[vinj]

Jeepney cuts me off along Paseo de Roxas... the mofo swerves to my lane as if my car were not there. Pinagbigyan ko na lang with the thought that he alone gets the karma and not his passengers. Nauna rin naman ako after a minute since my letting him get ahead allowed me to spot that another lane was moving faster.
