BGC car accident... SUV hit a pregnant lady then hit another car

If anything, I find drivers in the province (even public transpo) more courteous than Manila drivers.

Badtrip yung mga trike na nasa gitna ng provincial national road tapos ayaw mag give way.

yan agree ako dyan. pero not all places. as per my experience sa zambales at nueva ecija the mojority tumatabi sila pag alam nilang may sasakyan sa likod. ang certtified a$$holes naman sa pampanga, tarlac at bataan. pag businahan mo lalo pang babagal at gigitna tapos pag overtake mo saka haharurot.

No complainant, no charges...the wonder of amicable settlement or areglo system. Not even revocation or suspension of Driver's license...

Speeding drivers made BGC crossing bloody for Thai woman

The police are set to file charges against the driver of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) that ran over a Thai woman after being hit by another vehicle Tuesday morning at Bonifacio Global City.

The incident sent Jecinta Coote, 34, to St. Luke’s Medical Center at the BGC where she remained confined at press time. Coote, who is married to an Australian and is reportedly pregnant, sustained injuries in the head and body.

In an interview Wednesday night, the Taguig City police chief, Senior Supt. Arthur Asis, said that barring an amicable settlement, criminal charges would be filed against Rolando Manese, the driver of the Toyota Fortuner SUV (AAL 6646) that hit Coote as she was crossing the street using the pedestrian lane.

But he said Manese’s vehicle was first hit by a Fortuner wagon (NMI 615) driven by Anne Alison Soriano, a BGC resident. The incident happened at the intersection of 2nd Avenue and 30th Street at 11:15 a.m.

“Both vehicles were speeding and, upon reaching the intersection, the other vehicle rammed the side of Manese’s vehicle that’s why it fell on its side,” Asis said.

The police’s findings also jibed with eyewitness accounts earlier posted on social media saying it was the vehicle with license plate AAL 6646 that hit Coote.

The Taguig police chief also maintained that it was not a case of hit and run, saying the two drivers—who were both unhurt—stayed at the scene until an ambulance brought Coote to the hospital.

Asis said the investigators had yet to talk to Coote herself and had only spoken to her Australian husband, Douglas.

Unless an amicable settlement is reached between Manese and the Cootes, charges of reckless imprudence resulting in physical injuries would be filed against Manese, a resident of Paco, Manila, he said.

As to Soriano’s liability, Asis said it would be up to Manese to sue her.

You are sooo correct on this. I live in Bacoor for the past 3 years & just 10 mins away from Alabang. Was born & raised in Makati. I find it hard driving in Makati, Manila & QC now. Daming bastos.

There's CCTV footage released already. Both fortuners did not observe slowing down at an intersection with pedestrian lanes. I hope that the licenses of these drivers be revoked permanently. That's why my line of thought is, the bigger the vehicle, the larger the damage it can cause, so even more care and attentiveness to driving is needed. That unfortunately doesn't seem to be the foremost mindset of a lot of these suv drivers involved in accidents. When you encounter these types of drivers, it seems they want people to get the message that "i'm so big so you should have seen me already and given way" (ie ang laki laki nitong dala ko di mo nakita? O! nakita mo na pala, bakit di ka pa nagbigay?) regardless of whether they violated a traffic rule or not.

It looks like a dash cam is really a necessity na. I really need to save up for one.

Its good that i requested to live outside of makati, taguig, paranaque. I live there for three months and everyday chaos.

Narrow road, too many one way, sidewalk parking, poorly designed.

If you are an expat, you should be thankful you have a job in this city with all amenities paid by your company instead of complaining about your host country. Or perhaps there is no job waiting for you back home?

Or perhaps you are one of those european tourists who are only after the cheap s3x and free AIDS.

Im thankul but i need to be wise. I wont function well if i remain living at those chaotic cramp place. Driving fast at narrow roads and too many one-way street and the city allowing cars to park at sidewalks. Do they study urban planning and have zoning laws. There will be time in makati you might not see the sky anymore.
