Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

[CVT]

A pet peeve of mine is this. Anyone but pedestrians on the pedestrian lane. Ok fine, there are a lot of corners without the proper markings, and that's fine. But here it's clearly painted out. Hate it when you're positioned right before it, then come the motorcycles who overtake you and halt on the ped lane. TSk tsk! Wish it were legal to mow them down.

Bro.IMm29,- let's run for Congress and author a bill on this.....

We'd surely not get elected Bro CVT. Hahaha! Unless we have a friend who'd get elected, and we could be his advisers ;)

[Stoner]

Come drive by the intersection between Morayta and CM Recto Avenue on rush hour. It's worse. There'll be the urge to bowl over undisciplined students who cross en masse disregarding crossing lights. And they're supposed to be 'the' next generation? Heaven help us.

In a similar viewpoint, moto-idiots who stop way off the line in an adjacent corner, almost blocking your lane (have to swerve to avoid) are extremely annoying as well. Yes, wish it was legal to mow them down as well.

Just a few minutes ago I encountered another driver who thinks he owns the road.

I was driving on the leftmost lane of the skyway when I encountered a slow-moving car in front of me. I checked my right side to see if it's clear, and since it was, I signalled I was going right then slowly turned right.

A split second later I noticed a black car on my right getting too near just a foot farther than the front of my vehicle and he was signalling he was going left. I quickly turned left a little just to prevent him hitting me.

I knew that what happened was that he didn't notice me changing lanes and he checked his left lane just a split second later than I did and since I was a foot ahead of him, maybe he didn't see me through his side view mirrror.

We all know that this happens a lot on a three-way lane: both the innermost and outermost sides going to the middle lane at the same time so I didn't react in any way.

He later turned into the middle lane again again and got behind me. Again, this was perfectly the normal thing to do.

I was surprised when he honked his horn at me for a long time... so, being the good tsikot member that I am, I went back to the leftmost lane to give way.

This is when he got to my nerves: he squeezed through the space ahead of me and stepped on his brakes! It was my turn to hit my horn at him after which he sped off, maybe thinking he got the better of me.

Ano yun?

So to the driver of the black mazda with plate number ZDT 218: mali yung ginawa mo. You were lucky I'm a very patient and forgiving driver. Kung minalas ka at asshole din yung nakabangga mo, kawawa naman yung wife mo na nasa passenger side... pati sya madadamay sa kalokohon mo.

[CVT]

Wala siyang karapatang patabihin ka kung nasa middle lane ka... Unless may emergency siya.....

At anong circus act ang prenohan ka niya sa passing lane?

We already have traffic rules and regulations for those:
1. Blocking a crosswalk
2. Blocking an intersection
3. Jaywalking
these are the violations I noticed on your stories. We don't need more violent bills for those (like mowing them down, hehehehe...) what we need is to educate our traffic enforcers to recognize these violations and enforce the necessary fines.

I remember one story I heard: a traffic enforcer accosted a car which stopped on a pedestrian lane because of a stop sign. When asked what the violation was (apparently the driver was a lawyer), the enforcer said "Stepping on the line!" which prompted the driver to say, "Ano to, patintero?!"

Aw shucks, Mate! You just took the fun out of it! Hahaha!

I'm not surprised that there's some traffic regulation not being correctly enforced. Sad, but then even the supposed enforcers are the number one violators of such when they're not in uniform -- though some are especially when they are in uniform.

Mukhang lawyer-joke iyan, bro.?....

It would be interesting to know who won there?...

One of the many that I hate the most are those na busina ng busina na parang bulag sa nagyayari sa traffic sa harap nila.

Kanina lang paliko ako ng Oranbo, Pasig, pero puno yung lane turning right so stop muna ako together with a few cars in front of me, bigla ba naman bumusina yung innova sa likod ko. Then after making the turn, along Oranbo, there was a vehicle in front of me who wanted to park on the other side of the street, pero merong harang sa parking slot so the driver got off the to move it para maka-park sya, so stop muna ako and wait hanggang makapark sya. Ito na naman idiot driver ng innova sa likod ko e nagbubusina na naman.

Sa bwisit ko e pagkapark ng car sa harap ko binagalan ko talaga para lalong maasar yung idiot.. busina na naman sya, syempre i just kep my slow pace hangang makaliko ng shaw blvd.

Nakakainis ang mga tangang driver talaga!

[praetor91313]

Mas tanga yung driver na nakita ko two weeks ago.

While on the rightmost side of Amorsolo, may naka-hazard na kotse sa harap ko so I turned left then went back right para malampasan sya.

Tamang-tama, umandar na sya so nasa likod ko sya. When I neared our building, nag-signal ako na kakanan ako dahil papasok ako sa building namin, aba.... ang lakas ng loob na businahan ako!

Okay ka lang? Kanina ikaw nakaharang, di na kita pinansin tapos kakanan lang ako sandali, bubusinahan mo na ko? Ano'ng klaseng thinking naman yan? Pag ikaw nakakaistorbo, okay lang pero pag ikaw naistorbo magagalit ka? Heeellllooooo...

gets kita brader.

pero assess mo rin carefully next time. baka naman kase me emergency yung innova.

ako naman me similar incident a few years back sa may slex service road.

one night, i was driving in a traffic (mabagal ang usad), the pesky riders keep on cutting and

squeezing themselves in between me and the car in front.

lot of times, halos madale na yung gilid at harap ko.

so everytime, i give short honks to remind them that they'll hit me kung di sila mag-iingat.

bigla na lang, hinto yung kotse sa harap at punta sa akin.

sabi ba naman na nagmamadali daw ba ako kase busina daw ako ng busina sa kanya.

galit ang mokong! sabi ko na lang, "pare, di ikaw ng binubusinahan ko.

kung di mo napapansin, yung mga pesteng motor ang halos dumikit sa atin at lalo na yung mga nagka-cut ng alanganin.

bakit, me dahilan ba para businahan kita?"

dali-daling sumakay ulit sa oto niya at parang napahiya dahil nung nakalibre, humarurot papalayo sa akin.

kaso nga lang, dun ko lang napansin na ang bagal nga pala ng oto niya kase eh 70-80's model pa at mukhang walang maintenance

natawa na lang ako after. i thought, maybe i wasn't the first na pinagbintangan niya kase guilty at driving at speed under 20

in a highway. hehehehehe

[Ry_Tower]

Yung pagbubusina ok na yung minsan may magalit sa'yo pero iwas disgrasya ka kesa naman sobrang iniintindi mo yung iba pero sarili mo vulnerable sa mga nag-cucut na ganyan. Ako ganyan na rin lang sinasabi ko, na hindi sila binubusinahan ko but the MC's that inconsideratelt cuts off the lane and then speedoff as if their sh** is on the brink of falling!

[sgt_taga]

^ hehehehe

so sino ang considered me bad motoring etiquette? ako, yung mga nagmomotor o yung guilty na slow driver?

[jansky]

almost hitting a motor and the rider..

nasa tulay na ako at interesction na ung motor na nasa gilid biglang nagpatakbo na hindi lumilingon.. tapos biglang nag U-turn ng walang pakialam.. muntik na mga 3ft away sa harapan ko .. sabay napadiin ata din sya sa preno muntik na syang mahulog sa motor nya but napansin ko agad ung pag U - turn nya at buti na rin maayos na ung preno ko

nak ng kung hindi ba naman bobo at mukhang lasing pa eh gusto ata magpakamatay mangdadamay pa..

sabi nga ni misis bat daw di ko binusinahan.. sabi ko walang saysay na businahan kasi parang lasing at baka may kung ano pang tumulak dyan malay ko ba kung may bitbit. kaya dapat lagi tayong cool sa pagmamaneho.

[aleksalazar143]

Yung mga sumisingit sa pila lalo sa Toll Gate.

Yung mga Jeep at Bus na biglang kakaliwa na akala nila eh kanila yung daan.

Yung mga pedicab na nag counterflow.

Yung mga motorsiklo na parang ahas magmaneho (nagasgasan yung right fender ng Tucson ko).

[ess]

Yung mga motorsiklo na parang ahas magmaneho (nagasgasan yung right fender ng Tucson ko).

TAPOS:
-- Kung tinakasan ka, sorry ka na lang.
-- Kung hindi ka matakasan, magkakamot ng ulo at mag sosorry, tapos tatakasan ka.
-- Kung pagkatapos niya mag sorry at hindi pa rin siya makatakas, biglang maraming mga riders na papara para resbakan yung nakabunggo sa yo. Tapos magiging mang-aapi pa ang dating mo.

[Starex_Gold]

^ T*rantado yung mga yan eh. Hindi dapat sila nabubuhay sa mundo.

[Ry_Tower]

^ hehehehe

Yung surot na nagmomotor pa rin siyempre. Slow driving is not a crime as long as hindi sa passing lane or below a certain speed limit.

[AC]

kaibigan ko... nadapa yung motorsiklo sa tabi niya... my friend's car was not moving... siya pinagbintangan... nagpapulis report pa yung kumag nung huli.. hihingi lang pala ng 200php.. ano ba naman yan??? istorbohin ba naman yung tao at pagbintangan sa kamalasan niya at manghihingi ng barya.. im sure bali-wala para sa kaibigan ko 200php.. pero its very very unfair for him to pay at mapagbintangan ng mga ganyan

pinaguusapan nga namin gusto namin bumili ng mga video recorders sa cars para iwas buhaya/kriminal/etc lang... meron sa cdrking maliit lang at sd card lang ang memory... one time pag may time ako titingin nga ako niyan..
