BUS accident again

[istan]

It would help is the bus structure doesn't give way when it overturns. Mukhang weak yun integrity ng roof and passenger compartments.

It might surprise you to learn sir, I once saw a mini bus' roof being built with wood and a whole lot of bondo (masilya).

It's no wonder they wreck easily, they're made from the cheapest materials they can scrounge.

I know, i saw a bus body being built using 2x4 wood, a lot of angle bars and flat bars, plus stainless sheets.
That was in the 90's. May mga branding na mga bus now di ba?

They still do it today when they need to repair the body and other external structures. We have to remember that they have very small budgets for repair and maintenance of their vehicles. That's why so many of them break down, and worse, lose their brakes.

More-so the colorum buses that ply the major routes without any kind of proper documentation. Do we really think their vehicles are inspected and regulated for safety here in Da Pilipins?

Death traps, every one of them.

Pero agree ako dun sa post ni Chronicle. In certain *exceptional* situations tulad ng nangyari sa kanya:

-near total whiteout;
-narrow 2 lane road in the mountains, bangin katabi ng isang lane, the mountain side on the other;
-no option of waiting it out by stopping somewhere...

Justified na yung mag hazard, because almost desperate na rin yung situation... and you need every bit of visibility you can muster under those circumstances. Pero sa 99% of other situations, wala talaga reason mag hazard.

When your front lights are on, the (red) highly visible tail lights are on, and they glow even brighter when you step on the brakes.

So yung mga ginawang "disco light" yung rear bulbs nila, pina smoked yung rear lenses, o kaya ginawang clear kaya tuloy parang park light na lang... well, danger kayo not only sa sarili nyo but to everyone else on the road.

Yes. The "brand" is called: JAPAN SURPLUS.
