Caution!!!

[xtiansy]

Just got home around 3am. On our way to my gf's place in taytay around 130am from timog...we were cruising EDSA southbound...approaching EDSA-Ortigas flyover...20m away i saw a guy sa may island na may hawak na 4x2 na wood na siniswing-swing nya...we were on the fast lane...pagtapat namin sa kanya i heard something hit my rear-left. D&MN! from the sound i heard i can tell that it's a hard one. i stopped at the foot of the flyover...around 30m away from the guy...hazard on...i stepped out of the vehicle looked back sa pinangyarihan (wala na un lalaki) and then i saw a long dent (around 12") with white paint marks above the fender...my gf's so worried and she wanted me to get back in the car and just drive away from there. we then stopped over at shell emerald-ortigas...and then i saw the whole sh#($%t! anyway just sharing another bad experience on the road...

It was dangerous for you to stop at that location.

Dapat sa mga ganun SHOOT TO KILL!:fire: Whoops, easy Automahn... hingang malalim. Ay naku, di talaga ako pwedeng magdala ng baril sa auto. Marami na siguro akong napatay.:dead:

nakikiramay ako sa yo bro.tigin ko ito yung siraulong nakikita ko dati pa sa edsa. pero di ba nakita mo na cya 20 meters away, so bakit di mo iniwasan kaya pa sana yun kung nag accelarate ka lang ng husto.
tinapat mo pa kc eh. ako kc kahit sidecar na dumadaan lang talagang todo iwas talaga. charge to experience na lang bro and next time buy an armscor pellet gun para pag talagang ayaw umiwas, tirahin mo!!! di naman cya mamamatay dun mapapa aray lang!

next time don't stop. number 1, what if it's a modus operandi wherein bandits will jump on you?; number 2, you were in the middle of the road in a busy highway in the middle of the night, it's an accident waiting to happen.

there's a resident weirdo in that area. he sometimes throws bottles on passing vehicles near the edsa monument. baka sha ren yun

[scharnhorst]

Ako rin napagtripan ng bata recently. binato yung windshield

next time, alis nalang. wala rin namang ipangbabayad ng participation fee yung mga ganyan, at yun nga, baka modus operandi para macarnap auto mo. 3 am pa naman

I also had that experience dude...
At 10 pm after a party me and my family attended we went home...Along EDSA i saw a guy on the island bringing a hammer...We were running really fast.then i heard a sound of broken glass.My dad told me to stop but i stopped at a nearby gas station.When we arrived there,i looked at the back and saw my left tailight shattered...DARN IT!!!I had to spend my cash on repairs...Good thing we weren't victimized by a modus operandi...

I'm sorry to hear that. Pero lets be careful sa mga ganitong pangyayari kasi yung iba modus operandi lang nila to. Like my friend who got a flat tire in the middle of the night then somebody will approach you, kala mo tutulungan ka yun pala hoholdapin ka na pala at sila responsable sa pagkakaflat ng sasakyan. Lets just be careful and vigilant enough.

That's the problem with driving late at night or past midnight, you're mostly the only car driving around so he has more confidence in throwing something at you rather than hit somebody else.

Come to think of it I think I may have seen him before, and I thought it was weird somebody was on the island sa Edsa pa. Luckily nothing happened to us.

Be thankful nobody got hurt. Worst case scenario, he breaks the windshield or side windows, you get glass shards all over, plus the projectile may also hurt you. Torque is right, never stop anywhere near the culprit. There may be accomplices nearby who would exploit that opportunity.

When driving at night in Edsa stay away from the left lane, usually maluwag na yon enough to stay in the middle. I used to have this habit before, but with the U turn slots on Commonwealth I learned to stay on the middle lanes instead.

Also be careful when in traffic and you're stuck. I witnessed one time along Q. Ave. a pair of boys hide in the bushes sa islands on Q. Ave. I think it was just after Banawe. When the cars came to a halt they stood up and one went to my left side, the other to my right side, but they walked towards the car in front of me maybe two cars forward, and leaned on the doors, stole the side mirrors and ran off. I was scared they might do it to me, but I guess I was lucky my car wasn't a popular model to steal mirrors from back then. The victim was a Lancer itlog, by the way. I think this was around 2000 or 2001.

OT: sir magkano ba iyang ganyan?

It seems na madami ngang incidents like these sa EDSA. baka dapat din itong i-report sa pulis at ng mahuli na ang taong iyon o kaya ay sa media para maalarma ang mga passersby ng EDSA. Delikado masyado iyon, what kung you're running at hjigh speed (madaling araw eh!) then naghagis siya ng anything sa windshield. Anything can happen at that point.

Hi, Newbie here. Sorry about your bad experience and thank you for sharing it here so that it will also serve as warning to the rest of us.

experience ko naman, bote ang binato at tumama sa hood.. ayun may konting dent lang..
