Counterflowing Jaguar driver enrages netizens

Then that's the problem.

Correct ka dyan! Dapat maging aware ang public sa mga maling ginagawa ng natin.

Hirap kasi minsan Traffic Enforcers ang may pasimuno ng counterflow, they call it buhos. Mahirap mag implement ng batas na minsan pwede minsan hindi.

Sa ganyang scenario "controlled" yan ganyan. At ginagawa talaga yan para mabawasan yung traffic at tingin ko naman kahit paano may planning yan.

Ang buhos ay parang zipper lane, temporary at may control yung enforcers.

Convenient for the public masi.

Parang magabi, maiipit ako sa gitna ng shaw kasi naabutan ng pula. Pero sinenyasan akong mav tuloy tuloy.

In that case, yung mga enforcer hindi nag pa go until clear yung gitna. Safety issue naman yang akin.

double yellow line..
he shouldn't be there.
period.

puede bang hulihin yan kahit matagal na? naka-video naman yung katibayan..

[chronicle]

I dont see any enforcers nung kumaliwa yung jaguar kaya "buhos" is out of the question. And from the looks of it, mukang makipot yung street para sa iaaccount yung mga dumederetso at kumakaliwang sasakyan.

Utak skwater lang talaga si jaguar

Something is amiss here…

If you take a second hard look at the video, there is really more to it than meets the eye.
Consider these things: first, the jaguar came from that intersection at the right side followed by the Toyota Innova; second, the jaguar (0:18 seconds) tried to merge with incoming traffic and switched its headlights on; third, apparently piqued that the car with dashcam did not give way a little bit but drove straight at him, the jaguar veered to its left and made a stop; fourth, jaguar’s driver got out of his car (0:24) pointed his finger and shouted something like an invective and said something like “maluwag sa kanan” or to that effect; fifth, then he got back inside his car (0:30), reversed and merged with the traffic flow. At this (0:42), you could hear bleeping sounds indicating that a door was being opened. At 0:43, you could still see the backside of the jaguar. At 0:51, you could hear voices “di mo yan daanan, eh”. At 0:57, a clicking sound of a door being opened then somebody calmly said, “hindi kita hinarangan, ikaw ang humarang dito o,” another butt-in “hindi mo yan daan eh”, then somebody with subdued voice “ang luwag sa kanan pare…” but he was cut in mid-sentence by another at 1:03 “sir, hindi mo yan daanan” then somebody retorted “wag kang makialam” (or to that effect) then a voice said, “ anong di makialam trabaho po namin to.” At 1:07, the front-seat passenger of the Innova wearing a Black shades got out. At 1:10, the video ended.

My point is, if that jaguar came from that intersection and tried to merge the flow, then he was not really counterflowing maliciously because we could clearly see that the traffic of the road he was going to merge was heavy and in a way he could be counterflowing while trying to merge. He even switched his headlights on. It could happen to any of us. We could get mad if we were asking for a favor and the other motorist just stonewalled. What was wrong was when he got out of the car and shouted invective. But, look, he redeemed himself; he tried to reason with the people in the car with dashcam rather subduedly that "maluwag sa kanan pare." The mild demeanor of the driver was understandable because he knew it was recorded. Why did somebody said "trabaho namin ito"? Did it not sound like they (whoever they are) did it on purpose?

I have no comment about the dashcam owner. The jaguar guy is at fault, period.

I know the guy and I've seen him drive. He is not an aggressive driver. I don't think he meant to challenge the guy by not moving lanes.

Btw, the road looks like 5th Avenue. I don't think they implement counterflowing there, do they?

Pero kung ambulance yung dala nya, ill give way.

pa OT lang, grabe makabusina yung isang SUV (fort yata*cant ID kasi black) sa akin nung kumakabig ako sa kanan para makadaan yung ambulance. had to stop kasi, di ako pinagbigyan nung nasa kanan na auto (and masikip naman din at medyo bumper to bumper traffic). yung SUV sa likod ko, nasa 15sec (prolly more) bago tumabi at pinadaan ambulance. eh kaya naman nya kumabig dahil umusad ako.

Kahit saan man sya galing thats a double yellow lane. Siguro naman hindi na kailangan pa ipaliwanag kung ano ibig sabihin ng double yellow lane.

Ang hirap kasi dito sa Pinas sa dami ng mali ay nagiging tama...

[baker123]

pareho lang naman silang mayabang... si jaguar sumalubong.. yung isa naman pwede naman magbigay at maluwag naman yung kanan nya... talagang sinalubong pa nya si jaguar..

Remember.. you are driving in the phils. madami tayong makakatagpo na ganyan... sumasalubong, reckless, tumatawid sa hindi tamang tawiran..., entering a one way street... etc. etc.

Pinapalampas nalang natin dapat mga ganyan... madaming Mala "ROLITO GO"

Kaya, Kahit minsan nasa Tama tayo... tayo nalang mabigay...

For Our Peace of Mind... and safety na din..

i get the rolito go reference as life is most important here. but, "normal occurrence" does not mean "proper" driving behavior.

the dashcam driver didn't provoke the situation they were in. the jaguar driver actually was aggressive as can be seen on the footage when they were about to go bumper to bumper. you can see the jaguar driver trying to bully the dashcam driver. by moving his jaguar to the passenger side of the dashcam car. i dont think i heard the dashcam car press his horn. so he was actually just "ok " with what happened as this is a normal occurrence.

the only difference from other "normal occurrence" is this has a dashcam. and was posted in social media.

and that's ok. it could actually lessen the normal occurrence and maybe teach others to behave properly.
