Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

[beni23]

Relaxed driving kasi ako niyang araw na yan bro, wala naman akong inaapura. Uminit lang talaga ulo ko at angtagal na, ganun ba kahirap palitan ang bente pesos? Haha.

[jick.cejoco]

you mean the philippines has road etiquette? you mean traffic violations are documented and traffic citations are made? all i know in manila- money talks. hehehehehehehe. we should be ashamed both the uncapable untrained, hungry, lowly paid, untrustworthy traffic enforcers and the drivers who bribe the "enforcer" (of bribes) and the position in government or society name droppers

[umi001]

Yung mga jeep na tumitigil na lang sa gitna para lang magpapalit ng barya sa kapwa jeepney drayber. Squatter style talaga, hindi iniintindi ang mga nasa likod baka ba nagaapura sila ganun, mga mokong.



Mga 10 seconds nang nakatigil yan at angsarap ng kwentuhan nila, binusinahan ko na tuloy ng matagal. At pagkatapos niyan sa may kanto tumigil ulit ng pagkatagal tagal (ok lang sana kung may hinihintay siyang pasahero, pero wala pala), binusinahan ko ulit. Angsama na ng tingin sa akin ng mga pasahero niya at nagtatakip na ng tenga.

Gawin mo dikitan mo sa likod, para di makakapag-sakay o makakapag-baba ng pasahero Tapos tsaka mo businahan, para talagang mabinigi yung driver at pasahero

Pwede na din ito

kawawa ang mga inosenteng pasahero. just blame the driver of that jeepney. you don't correct a wrong with a mistake

let me stop you right there. ang ganyang gawain/asal ay bad etiquette (never mind if it is motoring etiquette). bakit mo idadamay ang pasahero sa mali ng driver?

nasubukan mo na ba ang maging pasahero in the situation you posted? kung regular mong ginagawa eto, kindly post your vehicle details like color, model, plate number so that the next time I'm a passenger and a vehicle does what you described, I'll know who to blame.

often times it is best to stop and consider what you are doing, especially when on the road. you became part of the problem instead of being a solution.

sa dalawang nagsuggest pa ng ng brand ng busina.. shame on you. hindi nakakatuwa ang mabingi ng busina, lalo kung pasahero ka.

Eto gamit ko, yung silver. Mag2 years na sa akin parang bago pa rin ang tunog. Hehe.


*Lev, take it easy bro. Bad etiquette nga yun and nagbibiro lang naman sila. Kahit naman isuggest nila yun kung matino pagiisip ng nakakabasa hindi naman susundin yun. :peace:

take it easy bro. 10 seconds lang naman.

[kel_nurse]

Nang kakarera sa daan. Poor etiquette and unsafe! Signs na kinakarera ka: tailgating, flashing their lights at you from behind, revving their engines beside you, passing you and cutting you. Some even point and give the finger. What's up with these people.

On the way home kanina, a crv was trying to race me. Of course ignore Lang.

pag may ganito sakin, binababaan ko ng window at pinapakitaan ko ng baril galing sa glove compartment ng car, showing na di hamak mas mabilis ang bala ko sa car nya. sila na ang kusang lumalayo pag gnagawa ko yun.

Quite often, the passengers are not so innocent. They want the jeep to stop as soon as they signal, right then and there - never mind that the jeep is not situated properly to be able to let passengers on and off without inconveniencing other people - and kung di sila masunod, sila pa ang magagalit.

You can see this behavior in UP - drivers there are trained to load/unload only at specific stops, but whenever passengers who are not used to the system ride a jeep, signal that they want to get off, and find out that the driver isn't stopping exactly where they want to get off, they get angry at the driver.

Now even if this is not the case, even if you're not the passenger who wants to get off as soon as you signal the driver, you are still complicit in the act - you're perfectly ok with other passengers doing so, and don't bother to point out to the driver and your fellow passengers that it would be better to pull up at the side of the road so as not to inconvenience others.

So don't tell me about the inconvenience to the poor passengers - if a jeep doesn't pull up to the side properly and stops in the middle of the road to load/unload passengers, then I feel it's fair game to be honked at, as well as other measures to get it moving. Don't want to be honked at or inconvenienced getting out of the jeep? Tell the driver to pull up at the side properly. I've no issues with waiting behind a jeep or a bus that's at a proper stop and doesn't linger overly long waiting for passengers - kasalanan ko na na hindi ko naisip na may stop doon. Stopping in the middle of the road, though, is another matter.

are you familiar with the phrase "stooping to thier level"? because that is precisely what you do-- stoop to their level. you are thinking of only yourself as they are thinking of themselves. you also do sweeping generalizations and have convinced yourself that everyone is at fault.

I have often wondered why motorists in metro manila would install loud horns or bright lights (HID), now I know it's because of the mentality of getting even.

about loading/unloading in unconventional areas, twisted logic na accomplice ang pasahero. it is still at the discretion of the driver to comply with the passenger. i know this to be correct dahil sa ayala avenue in makati or even in buendia, pinagsasabihan pa ng mga driver na "bawal" magloading/unloading ang mga pasahero kahit na magalit pa sila.

hay, in fact, luma na ang pagiisip mo na magagalit ang mga pasahero kung hindi tumigil sa sigaw na "para". when was the last time you commuted?

dude - we don't need this attitude on the road. and by doing this, you're becoming part of the problem.

[monkey_wrench]

i have noticed that in the past decade, overall road courtesy has vanished in the metro roads. everyone is in "fight" mode in the street -- motorcycles vs taxis vs jeepneys vs buses vs irresponsible car owners vs stupid pedestrians. more and more, i don't enjoy driving anymore. what used to be a pleasure is now torture -- especially in EDSA and C5.

it makes me sad whenever i think back to my younger days when people kept to their lanes, used indicator signals properly, and were generally more respectful to fellow motorists and commuters. why have things degenerated this much?

i guess it's a complex problem -- caused by multiple factors: (1) lack of education, (2) poor enforcement, (3) dog-eat-dog commission scheme for public vehicles, (4) poor road conditions ("broken glass theory"). the list goes on.

so what can we do? i hope this forum discusses more solutions on top of the usual rants. personally, i try as hard as i can to stay courteous -- hoping that it can rub off on fellow motorists.

[ishimaro]

part na rin ito sa problem ng ating society. karamihan kasi mga pinoy, ma-pride. laging naiisip na mas angat sya sa iba o kaya sya ay laging tama. ngayon i-apply mo yan sa road condition natin. karamihan e mga barumbadong driver na akala mo sya ang hari ng daan. ni hindi man lang iniisip yung kapwa motorista na nanahimik lang.. just my 2 cents...

That exactly is my issue - if drivers can do it at Ayala Ave., at UP, and certain other roads, why not everywhere? Now excuse me if I hold drivers on other roads to the same standards as those who drive along Ayala, Buendia and the IKOT route on UP - but I'm not going to sit mutely and just watch while a driver and/or passengers decide to be selfish and inconvenience everyone on the road; I'll express my disapproval in a fashion they can understand.

Since you seem to like quotes, let me give you one as well - "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." You, it would seem, would prefer that I just sit and do nothing while people do something wrong - just watch and not "inconvenience" the poor passengers. I feel that sometimes, road "courtesy" is trumped by the need to have people understand that they're doing something wrong.

Now, I can see that this is quickly devolving into a typical internet flame war, with both sides answering each other back, reiterating the same points over and over, and neither ever coming to agreement. So I'll just end my side here, having had my say.
