Bad motoring etiquette: What you hate the most.

[Lucius]

Bad motoring etiquette? Not following/ignoring the instructions of a traffic enforcer. The fool below ignored the instruction of a traffic enforcer to stop and stay put and let pedestrians pass. I was on the right side, near the sidewalk of RCBC Plaza (at the corner of Ayala and Buendia) on my way to the parking area. The driver of the Forester pressed on and nudged his vehicle oblivious of the crowd crossing. Maybe he wasn't paying attention to me, or maybe he tried to avoid some pedestrians, but he came so close to me and hit my side mirror. Even the pedestrians heard the thud and looked our way.

And the driver didn't even have the courtesy to roll down his window to apologize to me. He just stayed where he was waiting for a chance to run off to Buendia. Too bad for him, I have my phone cam always set on video mode when I drive (from past lessons learned), so I was able to take a short vid of his car before he ran off. Below is a screen capture from the video of his vehicle:



Thankfully, there was just a few scratches on my side mirror housing (at least when I checked after parking). He did get some few choice words from me.

RCBC Plaza, Ayala corner Buendia, Makati City. Just before the entrance to the RCBC Plaza parking. Between 8:00 and 8:30 am today.

Ang panget nung nag-reflect na mukha sa side mirror

How about yung mga drivers na titigil sa tapat ng mga traffic enforcers (kahit sa gitna ng kalsada) para magtanong for directions?

Syempre si traffic enforcer, feeling importante kasi sya ang "source of good information". Pag sinwerte swerte pa yung driver, papayagan pa sya mag U-Turn (kahit no U-Turn ung intersection) para pabalikin sa pinanggalingan.

Yung mga driver na nagpapalabas ng sipon habang umaandar sasakyan nila. KADIRS!

Taxi drivers usually. Hahaha.

One of the most blatantly unethical motorists are those driving armored cars. Just because you're an armored car means you can totally disregard traffic rules and set aside road safety!



The armored car above counter-flowed during a busy hour, around 8:00 am when a lot of motorists were trying to make it to their offices. The poor cars running against it were forced to squeeze to their rights towards the sidewalk to avoid it.

A few seconds later, it turned left right in front of a No-Left-Turn sign.

It also had damaged (intentionally perhaps?) plates mounted on its rear. See the inset where the first letter and last numbers were torn off. Grrrr!

Taken at Dela Costa Street in Makati, just approaching RCBC Plaza.

just to share my experience kaninang umaga.. kasi tuwing umaga, from 6-10 am, one way yung west service road from merville to nichols.. since taga dun ako, alam ko na yung rule na yun so nandun ako sa kabilang lane palagi.. nakakainis yung mga motor na nagcounterflow.. since bawal sila sa slex, dun sila nagcounterflow sa one way.. ayos lang sana kung tumatabi sila, kanina may motor na nasagitna nung lane, inilawan ko, ayaw tumabi, tapos binagalan ko kasi mababanga ko, paglampas niya, tinuro pa ako.. siya pa galit.. ay sus!
