Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

[ess]

This makes perfect sense! I've also seen drivers who signal left or right when the road's just bent 90 degrees. There's nowhere else to go but turn that way for crying out loud! They have no common sense.

I see that a lot on cars that are on the elevated U-TURN. No choice but to turn left, naka-ON pa rin yung left turn signal. When traffic is so bad, it can be very annoying to have a blinking red light flashing in front of your eyes.

my wifes guilty of this, she's a new driver, she prepares everything before leaving the parking lot, exact toll fee,

Yeah... It's a very good habit to prepare everything before you leave. Also, when you're in a parking building, you should at least have the exact amount to pay the parking fee. Yung mga lintik na ibang (*$)%&)$(*T&)(*$T&)$(*T&$()*& % na drivers, pag nasa parking checkout na -- doon pa lang sila maghahalungkat ng purse nila! After 5 minutes of scrounging... I'll see a hand poking out of the window giving a 1000php or 500php bill to the parking attendant. Tapos after being handed out the change.. ang tagal pa magbilang ng sukli. At times like that I wish I had a bulldozer to push that car aside.

Anyway, last night, I once again encountered a car with one of the headlights busted. What does the driver do? Aba eh.. kailangan i-HIGHBEAM yung natitira niyang headlight!

[woohoo]

madalas din nagpapadaan ako ng pedestrian, nakakabwisit yung mga driver sa likod ko na bubusina at flash ng headlight dahil nagpatawid ako, mga potak kayo sana pag kayo tumawid barahin kayo ng sasakyan at pinahan pa, para maintindihan nyo.

Okey lang naman yung magbibigay sa pedestrians ang nasa harapan ko.

Ang nakakainis lang sa mga mapagbigay sa pedestrians, e, yung ibibitin nila yung mga nakasunod sa kanila. As in, BIGLAAN kung magbigay. They wanna please pedestrians, but they're pissing off other drivers. Sana lang huwag biglaan.

Ang sabi nga ng isa nating tsikoteer dito.... "..... it is the sudden stop that kills"...

Hayaan na ninyo sila, kasi, it's their vehicle, it's their battery, it's their turn signal lever, it's their signal light, and there's no harm done. In fact, baka ang kasunod nila ay bagito sa lugar na iyun, hindi kabisado na ganun yung turn. So, may advanced notice yung bagito. Nakatulong pa yung nasa unahan na nag-signal.

Sa Japan nga daw, kahit walang ibang sasakyan at lilipat lang sila ng lane, magsisignal pa rin sila. For me, that's good habit. But that doesn't mean I do it myself.

Meron pa! Usually mga left turners na kaka-RED lang ng stop sign pero ipipilit parin magleft turn para harangan ka (incoming opposite lane), even if barado na yung pinagleleft-turn-an niya. Gets niyo ba? hehe

Kahit minsan ung walang stop light, ung mga hindi tumitigil sa mga intersection kahit barado na yung lanes nila para lang di ka makaliko sa opposite lane.

I differ. I noticed that when the hazard is on when there's severe weather, visibility of the car with it on is improved compared to just the tailights on. But that's on the NLEX. Dunno if it's useful in the Metro.

I agree. For heavily congested streets/high-ways, the hazard lights are useless. Highways with minimal traffic (e.g. cars running at around 60 - 70 kph during heavy downpours), I found that having their hazard lights flashing helpful.

[rpacis]

I'm not sure if this was posted earlier, but one thing that I hate are drivers that do not have an understanding of fast lanes and slow lanes (e.g. inner and outer lanes). Yung tipong ang bagal ng takbo sa mga highways (like around 40kph) tapos nasa fast lane. So, siyempre ang mga mas mabilis na awto, napapa-lipat pa sa middles/outer lanes para hindi maabala.

Kung may sasakyan na mas mabilis, sa rear view mirros, lipat na sa slow lane para padaanin, lalo na kung nagfa-flash na ng high beams.

i do this too kahit wala akong nakikitang sasakyan, bakit? because i know i have a blind spot, most of the time ito yung 2 lanes to my right, di ko kagad kita pagsilip sa side mirror. kala ko walang sasakyan yun pala nasa blind spot ko at papunta rin sa lane na pupuntahan ko, at least i gave them a warning na mag-chachange ako ng lane.

Would you signal before turning into a hairpin? Or a 90-degree bend? That's stupid. And misleading if you're on a highway. Common sense knocking on the door.

jeeps that stops on a not so good point, even at the middle of the street, just to have more passengers.

[kevin3000]

Traffic talaga jan Sir, except on Sundays. Pero usually hanggang WalterMart lang naman..after that ok na uli going to Pulilan. Try mo Sir magleft turn sa gilid mismo ng Tabang Elem School. Maluwag po dun.

sir hanggang maria lourdes lang ako sa tapat ng rocka complex

businahan mo nalang eto. minsan naman, yun pasahero din ang may kasalanan kasi gusto na bumaba, at yun driver na gusto dun sa tamang lugar magbaba, eh pinapagalitan ng pasahero pag hindi binaba sa gusto niya.

[Jun aka Pekto]

Here, we have our share of a**holes as well. One thing I hate is someone will go through all the trouble of overtaking me on a two-lane road. Then as soon as he's done overtaking me, he'll slow down and make a turn. Grrrr.

I sometimes paid back the favor by either getting on the opposite lane or the shoulder as he slowed down and passed him very closely at high speed, preferably splattering his vehicle with mud or water.

[iRevoLution_mo]

- Hi lights turned on in a two way road

- motorcycles na lagi nag counter flow pila pila pa
( usually pag may nakakasalubong ako na mga ganito hinaharabas ko talaga ng gitgit para bumalik sa linya nila arrgghh!!!)

- changing lanes without signal lights
(usually pa pag binusinahan mo pa ng malakas sila pa galit.. hayy!)

- immature newbie punk ass drivers
(oh well dami ganito sa amin kahit mga dati ng nagmamaneho, kung ano anong kapapansinan pinagagawa like parking close head on na sudden braking pa, and stupid parking styles)

- cars running around 60kph or less on overtaking lane, babad pa.
(even though flickering your lights at them, they still didn't notice kung anong stupidity and pingagagawa nila. mostly to sa SLEX)

[Stoner]

Drivers who constantly flash you from behind kahit na kitang barado ang harap and there's nowhere to go. Anong gusto nila? Lumipad ako? Douchebags...

Ouch! hahaha! Minsan guilty ako nito. Pag curve ang road I would unconsciously signal pero when I realize what I'm doing, I immediately turn it off.

Kanina may nagsignal from my left na kakanan daw sya so I stepped on the break to give him room to maneuver, paakyat yata ng Medical plaza sabi ko.

Dumiretso lang at sa dela Rosa pa pala sya kakanan!

I think it's another bad etiquette: turning on your signal light prematurely. It's not one of the worst, but it's still wrong.

Pag binusinahan mo naman titingnan ka din ng mga pasahero ng masama. hehehe...

Minsan nga may nakita ako binusinahan nya yung jeep, tiningnan sya ng masama ng mga pasahero, binaba nya yung window nya tapos sabi nya, "Wag kayo magalit sa kin! Yung driver ang sabihan nyo, ba't sya nagbababa sa gitna!!" Mukha pa naman presidente ng bangko yung suot ng nagda-drive, nahiya tuloy ako para sa kanya.

Minsan din papunta akong sucat, binusinahan ko yung nakaharang sa severina. Tiningnan ako ng masama ng mga pasahero. Ayaw gumalaw pa rin ng jeep. Busina ulit. Pinagalitan na ng traffic enforcer yung jeep... Umandar ng kontin tapos nung tipong di na aabutan ng enforcer, binagalan pagtakbo parang nang-aasar. Oovertake sana ko binilisan din nya bigla ang harurot!

Tanga talaga mga to, e makikipagunahan sa sedona? Syempre naunahan ko pa rin sya.

Sa akin din naman nangyayari yun (subconsciously syempre), pero ang gara kasi tignan. Parang weird.

[jjmd3_787]

Ang pinaka-ayaw ko e yung may biglang sisingit sa harap ko tapos napaka-kupad magpatakbo at ayaw pang tumabi . . .
