Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

Yung mga bus na ginagawang u-turn ang taft avenue. Natawa na nga lang ako kasi this morning, may naputukan ng gulong. Sabi ko nalang sa sarili ko, sana nangyayari yan sa mga bus na pasaway sa kalsada.

[flakez]

yung mga mahilig mag hazard lights pag umuulan. hindi mo tuloy alam kung san sila pupunta, mas delikado pa tuloy.

+1million. okay mag hazard lights ka pero dont change lanes, pero yung ibang nk hazard lights tapos papalitpalit ng lanes ay ewan,
ako never used the hazard lights during a downpour

Eto mukhang wala pa nakabanggit: pag nasa rotonda ka, ikaw ang may right of way. Kaya may mga linya sa labas ng rotonda para mag full stop muna bago pumasok ng rotonda. Eh mga asungot, dire-direcho. Yung mga nasa rotonda pa yung hihinto at papadaanin nalang yung mga asungot para gumalaw yung traffic.

I'd say karamihan ng mga drivers sa Pilipinas,- hindi ito alam na pag ikaw ang nasa rotonda,- ikaw ang may right of way...

Basta singit na lang ng singit....

sa totoo lang, di ko man ata to nabasa sa driving manual. ginamit ko lang common sense na pag may linya titigil ka muna. at mas maganda daloy ng traffic kung ang may right of way yung nasa loob ng rotonda dahil siya yung umiikot, mas marami siyang kailangan pagkaabalahan. yung papasok diredirecho lang naman kaya siya dapat may courtesy to keep the traffic flowing and safe driving.

yun lang naman talaga kailangan pag nagmamaneho, COMMON SENSE. at yun rin ang wala sa maraming motorista sa pinas.

Sadly, rules governing the rotunda and intersection (yellow boxes) are unknown to -- and worse, ignored by -- a great many Filipino drivers. No courtesy, no discipline, always selfish. Worse, if you display courtesy on the road, you either get bullied or scolded by other motorists. That is why I sometimes find it difficult to keep my composure when I follow rules and give way, then some bozo starts blaring their horn at me because they can't be bothered to give way to others. Oh well....

Below is another unthinking brute. Notice the lane dividing line underneath his rear towards the right. Kalayaan corner Makati Avenue. He's preventing other motorists from occupying the right lane.

So true, this happens to me lots of times. Minsan nga girlfriend ko pa yung manggugulo sakin. But she's learning. Still drives like a maniac though. Wala talagang pasensya tayong mga pinoy. Foreigners say filipinos are a friendly people. Friendly lang kung may makukuha sayo. Its the "Utang Na Loob" culture. Free for all na kung wala kang mababawi.

Pansin ko lang talaga, Filipino motorists disregard lanes. For them, it's a suggestion, not a rule. Kaya eto namang mga oportunistang MMDA, gumawa ng yellow lane rule dahil alam nilang marami silang mahuhuli kasi di sanay mga pinoy sumunod sa linya. Kung magaling sana tayo sumunod sa linya, walang yellow lane rule. Nung una pinatupad yung yellow lane rule, di ko alam na ganun ka strikto ni-isang gulong ng private vehicle di pwede lumagpas sa yellow lane. Nung minsan may hinatid gf ko sa edsa, binaba lang niya kaibigan niya sa sidewalk. Hinuli ba naman siya dahil nasa yellow lane siya. Eh pano uuwi tong kasama niya kung bawal lumagpas sa sidewalk? pinagiisipan ba talaga ng MMDA yung pinaggagawa nila? O pera lang talaga gusto nila sa mga mamamayan? No regard for safety. Tapos dun mismo kung san hinatid, puro swerving na bus naman makikita mo. Kung hindi swerving, patigil tigil sa gitna ng daan.

*&**%^#!&^%#* mahighblood nanaman ako neto!!

Nung last time din, naganyan kami. Pero taxi ang gumagawa niyan. Liliko na nga tapos lalo pang didikit sa kotse. Tsk tsk!

[desert fox]

dapat talaga me refresher course para sa mga drivers...lalo na sa public utility drivers...

[ppcsurfr]

If you think people disregarding lanes in Makati as bad, then wait until you get to Commonwealth Avenue which is to start it off, looks like it was planned by a moron. The flaws of the design encourage drivers to violate and disregard road rules. Confusing lane designations plus lanes that weave left and right encourage drivers to cross solid lines and drive over no-drive areas.

The bad thing about this is that drivers lose all discipline here.

1. Your signal light is an indicator of your INTENT to make a left or right turn. Your signal light DOES NOT give you right of way. Vehicles changing lanes have to yield to vehicles already on that lane. Does this happen in the Philippines? Not at all. And it is more evident in Commonwealth Avenue. You will see cars that veer to the left or right because they have their signal light on.

2. Solid lines mean no changing lanes. If they just followed this, there would be less accidents in Commonwealth Avenue.

3. Diagonal no-drive on areas with a solid lines. What are vehicles doing on these? I was on my own lane that curves left to the tandang sora flyover and the morons on the no-drive area honk at me for following the lane!? Hindi ibig sabihin na dahil katabi nila yung island ay sila ang may right of way. Morons! The person on the lane has right of way. At this point they are merging into MY lane.

4. Swerving. I am not talking about swerving just a couple of lanes. I think the best description is simply crossing all 8 lanes in a near 90 degree angle. Yes they do it, and do it in an ever so slow manner that it causes accidents. This is something you just don't do. Never slow down in a high speed road. change lanes (in stages) at the speed of all vehicles on the road (at least).

5. Slow vehicles and motorcycles... stay on the slow lane. Oh Commonwealth has none.

[MoonbeamTURBO]

1. Those who are not using their turn signals.
2. PUJs, tricycles not using their headlamps at night.
3. Driving with busted taillights (you'll get surprised when they hit the brakes).
4. Those who do not stop when they see the road in front of them is already full (because of that, they block the intersection).
5. Those who do not yield when entering a larger street.
6. Those who swerve from a smaller street along EDSA to the innermost lane (e.g., exit from SM North Edsa to U-Turn Slot).
7. Those who don't follow traffic lines.
8. Slow drivers that speed up when they see you already at the middle of the intersection completing a left turn.
9. Slow drivers that speed up when they see you switch on the turn signals.
10. Those who don't know what their rear foglamps are for.

Iyan ang masarap masabitan ng motor, tricycle, kariton at PUVs.

Nampvts* sinakop ang 2 lanes... Ano'ng nasa utak ng m*k*ng na iyan?

Mga motorcycle na patay ang headlights tuwing gabi. Kanina lang muntik na ako makasagi dyan sa pagbaba ng Market Market papuntang C5. Pano ko makikita sa side mirror ung paparating na motor kung patay ang headlights. Sya pa may ganang magalit at hinabol pa ako. Hahaha. Hindi ko na lang pinatulan at baka may dalang baril pa. tsk. Si Lord na bahala sa kanya.

Kaya asawa ko ayaw magmaneho sa EDSA kasi lahat ng ayaw mong gawain sa kalsada present dun.
Pero ako ang pinaka ayaw ko talaga yung nagmamaneho ng lasing. May nakasabay ako nung minsan sa daan na ganun gusto ko ng bangain para mapatigil at mapahuli sa pulis.

Are we having an epidemic of eyesight failure amongst drivers? Or have their brain functions suddenly gone down to less than 1%? The arduous nature of my daily drive to work is exacerbated by these numbskulls.

Lane Busters, caught on cam:


Just because you got an unregistered "diplomatic" plate doesn't mean you can act like an uncouth taxi driver.



For Pete's sake, stick to your lane and give other motorists their space!



Commit to a decision and commit to a lane!



Intended to go left, swerved to the right, then decided it actually wanted to go left after all, but then the stop light turned red, and thus ended up as an idiot for all to see.



Was on the right lane, tried to beat the red light by cutting through the left lane, but couldn't make it on time and screeched to a halt. Thus he ended up occupying two lanes.


Precisely the reason why I got my phone cam always at the ready for a one-click recording of these road hogs.

On the way to office, in Ortigas Ave, near Meralco. I was changing lanes going right. There was plenty of space and I had my right turn signal flashing. THEN this long angry beep sounded far behind. A black riced swirlmarked civic that looks like it hadn't been wash and waxed for years came rushing at my right.
So sige pinagbigyan ko.
As soon as he passed my right, the douchebag turned left in front of me!
WTF? He could have just allowed me to turn right since I was way ahead of him. Gusto pa niya mauna mag change lane.

I'd place this under Bad Motoring Etiquette:

I was waiting for my turn in a Shell Gas Station here in LPC yesterday morning. Since I was driving a Grand Starex, I cannot position my vehicle to be behind the car that was still filling up as I will be blocking the driveway. But, my (left) signal light was on to indicate that I was on queue. So, when it was vacated, I began to turn my ride to the slot. But this nincompoop suddenly came from nowhere(he just came in to the gas station) and 'stole' the slot. He was less than an inch into sideswiping my Grand Starex. I was close to confronting him but decided otherwise as another slot in front was vacated after a few moments. So, I got down and took a picture of his red Kia(?) car(WEC 141) while it was still filling up to show everyone here that this ride is driven by an inconsiderate and stupid individual.

Actually, nakita rin ito ng gasoline boy na nag-attend sa kanya at iiling-iling din lang ito, nuong lapitan niya ako....

WEC 141 ung*s na driver,- mauna ka na g*go!:twak:

Geez..... ganyan talaga mga walang pinag aralan, mga BBO. Also, same as to your post, I really hate it when others "steal" you parking space. Last saturday, at SM Baguio carpark, I was waiting for this car to back up. At the opposite end, there was a old civic approaching. I turned on my blinkers to somehow let them know na I was the first one to find that spot. Akala ko hinihintay nya lang din mag backup ung car pero after na pagalis nung car, bigla nya akong inunahan. WHAT THE EFF?? Mabuti nalang at after around 5 seconds, may umalis din so I was able to park. I Almost lost it, at binaba ko na sana ung mga dumb ass gangster wannabies driving their BADUY RICE civics with fake CF's, if it weren't only for my gf keeping me cool kaya pinagpasensyahan ko na.

[vh3r]

dami kong nakikitang ganito everyday papasok office at pauwi ng bahay. malas mo pa kapag mabagal ang sasakyan nya nan ag occupy ng 2 lanes.

madalas kapag badtrip ako sa mga ganyan binubusinahan ko hanggang sa mag 1 lane nalang sinasakop nya.

tapos kapag nagbaba ng bintana bababaan ko din at mumurahin ko pa dahil sa katangahan nya.

sa gas station nakakainis yung pipila ka tapos sisingitan ka.. lalo na ng mga motor.. dun sa shell c5 madalas yun.. parang may lane para sa pag gas ng mga motor.. pag pumila ka dun, pagdasal mo na walang magpapagas na bagong motor.. kung sakali, didikit na sila dun sa motor na nagpapagas..
