    Appropriately placed road signs and lane markings that are ignored.

    I mean, let's face it, some folks (or should I say a lot of folks) behind lane markings and road signages nowadays do not have logic on their side when they execute their plans. The results are signages being too small to read, or too late to read, and lanes leading to nowhere, or to accidents just waiting to happen.

    It's not that I'm espousing anarchy by disregarding traffic signs and lane markings because they're illogical -- depending on your logic or if you're a PUV -- but it's doubly bad motoring if you disregard traffic signs and lane markings when they completely make sense.

    Was leaving Subic Bay for Manila yesterday when there was a vehicle, about 3 cars in front, just waiting to break free from the rest of the pack -- but doing it in the least responsible fashion. He was trying to overtake on the right (shoulder) where the big signboard said "No overtaking on shoulder". Then, he tried to muscle his way thru by positioning to overtake on a solid yellow center line.

    Grrr! Anyhow, he got a dose of his medicine when the van he overtook prematurely and cut into did not react. His SUVs' collides with the van as he overtakes.

    Same here, most of the time i signal my intent even if it means the car lazily following on the next lane will speed up and block me off like an idiot. I also don't signal and switch at the same time (yung ibang drivers kasi, sabay na yung signal at lipat without even checking properly if they are being given space). Also, when a person signals properly and waits to go to my lane, and is coming from a proper lane just as well, i will slow down and give way as long as there is space; kung katabi ko na siya and my car is ahead, i'll just go ahead (huwag lang ako pinahin at magpumilit).

    "Naghahanap buhay lang daw"

    I also do that when there are those who are counterflowing or are coming from the the wrong lane (i.e. shoulder) and are trying to merge with the proper lane. I keep to my line and allow enough speed to ensure the person following behind me also doesnt get cut off. Yung mali kasi ng ibang drivers is that when they are being forced by another car to cut in, they avoid them by speeding up and moving the car off their line so in effect, this allows the car to cut off the person following behind in most cases, unless the following car is likewise stubborn and will stick like an eel to the car in front.

    well sir its an ego boost for them, they cant buy the real thing that's why they feel so good having a drag race in highways.
    what i do is when i see/hear them coming i always break for a second and let them pass and laugh that i made a jackass out of him. there's no need to compete with them i just love driving my car. its also evident with underbone motorcycles.

    remember this MC who tried to compete with my wife in an open road, medyo mabilis din kasi wife ko patakbo, yun nga lang sa dulo ng open road may small humps na di obvious, na alam ng wife ko at di alam nung MC, yun lipad yung MC. btw, di pala nakipagkarera wife ko, mabilis lang talaga sya magpatakbo pag late na.

    i also believe its an ego boost for them "naka kotse ka nga pero mas mabilis naman motor ko sa yo"

    Yeah and perhaps a big ego burst when they wring the best out of their noisy underbones only to have your diesel van up their *$$es and blowing its horn for them to clear out.

    Naiinis ako sa mga jeep na magbababa ng pasahero right before the intersection, imbis na tumawid na lang muna at doon magbaba. Ngayon lang, imbis na kakanan na lang ako, hihinto pa ng ilang segundo para lang pagbigyan yung lintik na jeep wherein same thing lang naman sana kung tumawid na muna sya ng intersection, di na sya nakaabala.

    Sa mga multi-level parking lot paakyat lalo na sa Megamall, yung mga motoristang biglang babagal oo hihinto sa dulo ng ramp at bibitinin yung mga sumusunod sa kanyang paakyat din na sasakyan.

    Yeah, why is this the case with Megamall most of the time? Because of the layout where they can scope the place for parking from the ramp top? This happens to me a lot there.
