    yang 2 lang na yan ang pagkaiwasan mo sa daan, di ka sasantuhin ng mga yan.

    ang 3rd na dapat mong iwasan sa daan ay mga emergency vehicles--like fire trucks, police at PRIVATE/some abulances.

    otherwise, palusutin mo na, mahirap pa magsangkot pa sa gulo.

    agree to this... ilang beses ko na nakakasabay sa SLEX tong mga to.. sobrang nakakabwiset.. kala mo kung sino mangcut.. tapos pag nagalanganin ka.. bababaan ka ng bintana tapos duduruin ka pa.. mga power tripper.. cyempre hindi ka naman agad makakakabig pag pinatabi ka..

    may 1 time na nakasabay ko ang convoy ni gloria, sabay nagtrapik sa SLEX.. parang OA nga eh.. pag kahinto na pagkahinto ng convoy, sabay baba lahat ng body guards.. as in sa daan sila inikutan nila yung kotche ni gloria, isip ko naman, parang stupid naman.. mas madali nga sila pagbabarilin o pasabugin ng ganun.. haha pero gwapo, parang action movie.. haha wala lang share ko lang ang bwiset na experience ko with that convoy.. hehe

    A lot of rants have been posted about PU drivers. Kaya nga sila hanggang PU na lang. My pet peeves involve private vehicles whose owners are supposedly better educated. Some irritating practices:

    1. Magkasalubong na kotse, titigil sa gitna ng 2-lane street para mag-uusap yung mga driver or pasahero. Pag binusinahan, sila pa galit.
    2. Slow moving vehicle who speeds up when you try to overtake.
    3. The headlight flasher who frantically flashes his headlights kahit malayo pa siya sa intersection, hoping that you'd yield even if you were 1st at the intersection.

    Btw, is true that in the US, if you flash your headlights at another car at an intersection, it actually means, "After you"? Hindi gaya sa Pinas where it means, "Me first!"

    A friend told me about his experience in LA where "first to stop, first to go" is practiced at an intersection. But because he and another motorist arrived at the intersection at the same time, he did this flashing bit, Pinoy style. So the other car moved forward and so did he. Muntik silang magbanggaan. The guy in the other car shouted invectives at my friend. Sabi ng utol niya, "Bakit ka kasi nag-flash? Ibig sabihin niyan dito, 'Sige mauna ka'".

    Depende sa state. Sa MN hand-signal ang gamit para magsabi na "mauna ka na..." kasi hindi naka-tint ang mga awto doon. Bibihira lang din yun kasi strictly followed ang right of way, at hindi na kailangang sabihin na mauna na ang isa.

As soon as you go back to normal beam, the a-hole goes back to high beam.
    Pa add lang. Idiots who install HID on regular headlamps with halogen reflectors. Cheap morons who want HID but cannot afford projectors replace halogens with HID bulbs and spread their light all over the place.

    Hindi na nga aligned, sabog pa ilaw nila.

    if i can remember correctly, ganyan din dito sa pinas nung 80's. it's actually a sign of courtesy when you flash your lights. yun din turo sa akin ng magulang ko. ewan ko ba bakit biglang nagbago.

    one thing I hate is when you're in the slow lane of a multiple lane road at merong nagmamadali at magfflash sayo para tumabi ka. e saan pa kaya ako tatabi? igigitna ko para iba naman maabala ko? nangyayari to madalas sa slex na ginagawa ng mga bus.

    ako naman ang turo sa akin sa pagflash ng light eh iba

    pag mabilis takbo niya at nagflash ng light it means "oi d na ako makakapreno una na ako"

    pag mejo papreno na siya "sige pards una ka na tutal pumepreno na ako"

    ako for some reason nakasanayan ko naman na pag naliko tapos me parang kotse na humahabol i usualy flash my lights instead na magbusina scandaloso kasi minsan pag nagbubusina ka at minsan naasar ang driver (yung sentra ko kasi BEEPBEPP ewan ko ba sakit sa tenga ng busina non)

    isa pa palang badtrip is yung mga trucks na may sobrang lakas na ilaw sa side ng truck nila! na sa bagal nila pag nagovertake ka sa kanila tuwing gabi.. sobrang masisilaw ka! parang feeling ko magugulat nalang ako sasabit na ko sa gilid nila! mga bwiset talaga! sarap pagbabarilin ng mga gulong nila! hehe

    and kung possible lang yung maglagay ng malakas na ilaw sa likod haha maglalagay na ko.. kainis yung mga nakahigh beam kahit nakastop lang.. para magulat sila bigla ko sila silawin! haha may nakagawa na kaya nito. i want to be the first.. hahahaha wala pa man din akong tint kaya torture talaga...

    o kaya naman yung lettering na ilaw, rather that the usual 3rd brake light, ilalagay ko lettering na "HOY ILAW MO" ang maglilight on.. hahaha just a thought.. ;p

Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.
